 This program runs a speedtest check every hour and graphs the results. The back-end is written in [Laravel](https://laravel.com/) and the front-end uses [React](https://reactjs.org/). It uses the [speedtest-cli](https://www.speedtest.net/apps/cli) package to get the data and uses [Chart.js](https://www.chartjs.org/) to plot the results.
