Great news concerning LightHive, not so great about the earthquake. I hope you are well!
I have created something new that uses the library, a comment counter, or Reply Tally, that takes URLs as an input, and counts the replies for each commenter. I'm planning to improve on it, but that's a start I guess. Oh, and thank you very much for your library, it's a lifesaver for a beginner Python enthusiast with a passion to code for Hive.
Stay safe!
