SCTools, also known as Stats Community Tools, is a website founded by GNZGUY and MinMax that aims to help the statistics community with a collection of tools.[2]

The logo was briefly shown in GNZGUY's 2024 Rewind for a few frames with a glitchy effect and a glitch sound effect being played, after he stated "I plan to upload more often, create more projects, [and build] a better community. [...] See you in next year!"[3] This could hint at a potential release in 2025.

Sub-projects[edit]

Statical[edit]

Statical is a JavaScript library made by MinMax[4] as part of SCTools that is a "high-level stats video framework" built with D3.[5] It was made because MinMax thought that "making high-quality stats videos with D3 was too complicated, involving a lot of code that you have to copy and paste a bunch of times."[5]

It is currently being used by MinMax, Communitrics, and occasionally JipStats for making videos.[5] Its concepts are also used and were initially created by GNZGUY.

CountStream[edit]

CountStream is a website made by MinMax[6] as part of SCTools that features live counts. It was made to fix the problem of streamers using chroma key to remove the background of live counts, causing performance issues for their streams, which MinMax calls the "green screen problem."[7]

ests.sctools.org[edit]

ests.sctools.org (or the SCTools estimations) is an estimation system made by GNZGUY and MinMax.[8] It features day-night cycles, API update animations,[a], fetching multiple channels at once[11] and more. It was originally made to be used on LeanStats' Top 100 Creators stream, and is currently also being used on MinMax's stream.[12]

Notes[edit]

  1. This refers to when the API count of a YouTube channel updates, the SCTools estimations quickly jumps to the number. This is seen in multiple videos of the estimations.[9][10]
