Topic on Talk:Structured Discussions/Flow

Here's how you would show the number of topics on the [Discussion] tab in your Special:MyPage/common.js or a Gadget:

make Flow's "table of contents" API request for 100 topics on Discussion page (sample)
in a successful API response, zero in on, in jq syntax, .flow["view-topiclist"].result.topiclist.revisions and gets its length (or maybe get the length of ...topiclist.roots, Flow API results are complicated).
change length to "99+" if it's 100

append this length to the "Discussion" tab with

$( '#ca-talk a' ).append( ' <span style="color: orange"><small>' + length + '</small></span>');

If you're already viewing the Discussion page there might be a way to reuse the API requests the Flow board has already made or the HTML it has already produced.
