This looks great for the first attempt. It would be great if you could
share the details on the flow of data (from portindex to html views), and
how you would extend it to incorporate mpstats output later.

There are some known issues with portindex2json output, possibly related to
quotations, or strings and lists. Can you paste here the issues you ran
into? This seems like a priority to me.

Apart from build stats, a link to a port's portfile on Github, dependencies
(with versions), or status of the build (on each OS?) will be helpful. It
would be better if the categories are clickable, which shows me the list of
ports belonging to that category (like a filter) but not for now. Better
parsing of maintainers will be useful too.

Also, the OS filter seems to be not working, probably there's no data but
on selecting 10.13 for AppHack, it still showed base-10.14_x86_64.

Bootstrap is fine as long as we are leveraging Django's jinja templating
and there's no need to expose APIs.
