4 years ago Actually, I think it’s doesn’t make much sense to show "today’s contributions" because "today" has a different meaning depending on your time zone. This number is calculated from the point of view of the UTC+0. This explains why it can be pretty low even though contributors are active.
How about replacing it with "contributions in the past 24 hours"?

That sounds good to me. Will calculating that each time the page loads slow things down?

It might not be that slow, but still, we don't have to implement it in a way that it's being recalculated each time.

4 years ago Another possibility, perhaps, would be to reverse sort what's on this page, and then grab the first 2 or 3 lines, but not with the bar graph part. Perhaps, this recycles something you already have.

No.

4 years ago Perhaps adding 2 lines might be interesting, rather than just the one.
00000 contributions in the last 24 hours 00000 contributions in the last 7 days
This would let members to easily approximate the recent daily average.
Or, possibly instead have....
00000 contributions daily average for the past 7 days . (or 90 days)
Past 24 Hours: 00000 sentences Daily Average for the Past 7 Days: 00000 sentences

4 years ago If there's a need behind showing stats on a larger range of time, then please elaborate.
The reason why we have this "X contributions today" was just a way for us to give a quick and concrete number to the users on how active the project is. Just one number is enough. We could have chosen any length of time, but a day seems to be a good unit based on how much activity we actually have. We could have chosen one week or even one month if the pace of the project was much slower and we had no guarantee that there would be contributions every day.
The Enhancement for this page: https://tatoeba.org/eng
Add in the number of yesterday's contributions, so regular members as well as new members can get an idea of the activity. Just showing "contributions today," at times, makes it look like nothing much is happening.
807 contributions today 3,485 contributions yesterday 347 supported languages 8,076,496 sentences
Note
If you think 4 lines is too many for this part of the page, consider eliminating the line with "supported languages," since these can be found, along with the number of sentences in each language by clicking the link the block.
Additional Note
Since the word "contributions" could also mean leaving comments and other things people do to help the website, maybe this should be "sentences" or "new sentences."
