That looks like a bar graph not a heat map. A heat map to me means you have pixels or squares which are colored according to frequency or prevalence.

Yeah, I realized that after I’d already published it!

It’s still a listing of “hot” files in some sense though.

I was surprised to see "often" shortened to "oft", i dont see that oft.

Not exactly a shortening, per se. "oft-", not "oft", is the prefix[0] form of "often".

I'd guess "oft" on it's own would probably be archaic.

This looks a great project but can't really see why you'd use it. It's awesome to see which files have been edited the most but what would you do with that information?
