Overview

Boots is a lightweight, silent addon for WoW Classic Era that passively tracks your guild's activity by taking hourly snapshots of online members and sharing that data guild-wide.

All snapshots are broadcast via the guild channel, forming a distributed, peer-to-peer telemetry mesh. The more people who run it, the better coverage your guild gets.

🔍 What It Does

✅ Logs guild roster data hourly: name, level, class, and zone
✅ Broadcasts snapshots to all other users with the addon
✅ Merges incoming data into a shared, synchronized dataset
✅ Automatically tidies old logs every 30 days
✅ Designed to be passive — install it and forget it

📊 What It Enables

Designated leadership or technical members can export the collected data from their SavedVariables file to power external tools such as:

🟢 Heatmaps of class activity
🧭 Zone frequency maps (where your guild tends to hang out)
👥 Composition reports of truly active players
📈 Foot traffic trends and "boots on the ground" insights

This data can help officers plan raid times, monitor growth, and support long-term guild optimization.

⚙️ Commands

Command	Description
`/boots status`	View current logging settings
`/boots toggle`	Enable or disable logging
`/boots tidy`	Manually remove logs older than 30 days
`/boots clean all`	Wipe all stored snapshot data
`/boots help`	Show help info and usage guide

🔒 Privacy-Friendly

Boots only logs what is visible in the default guild roster — no whisper reading, no behavior tracking, no alt detection.

Just presence data, shared among addon holders, for the greater good of the guild.

This addon is a silent utility designed to improve guild health and coordination — especially when combined with a web-based visualizer or attendance dashboard.
