10 years ago It would definitely be nice, but it would also require us to log those things, so we'd need some sort of infrastructure to handle that, which we currently don't have..
We might be able to do something with an existing tracking platform such as Mixpanel, Flurry or Google Analytics.. I'll give it some thought

10 years ago Might wanna look into keen.io, from what I know they have serious discounts for open source projects n stuff.

10 years ago Hey all, check out Keen IO and let me know if you have any questions at all. I'm down to help out. We have a free account for 50k events and if you need more we give unlimited for $10USD per month. Thanks for the plug @JFKingsley :dancers:

10 years ago oh, one more note. The $10USD / month deal is only for open source projects (that's an important piece to know:)

10 years ago I would like to see something like that as well and I think the free quotas should be sufficient.
On the first startup of Alcatraz we could generate a UUID to identity the installation. Afterwards we send an event on every "install" and "uninstall" to track the numbers. Of course we need to add a big "opt-out" checkmark. Afterwards we could show the numbers next to every plugin and sort the plugins by installation count.
@jurre: Would you be willing to merge an approach like this? If yes, I would work on a PR :smile:

10 years ago Seems like a nice approach, @larsxschneider. I like the fact that the stats would be useful for everyone (not only for plugin developers) with the ability to order plugins by install count.

8 years ago Any progress about this? As a plugin owner, knowing about install and uninstall counts would be great!

8 years ago Might be worth looking into PackageControl's implementation of this: https://packagecontrol.io/news#2013-08-09-New_Website
The stats aggregator and full website are open source: https://github.com/wbond/packagecontrol.io
I published a theme in Alcatraz and seem to have no way of seeing how many times it is being installed, uninstalled, viewed etc... Are there any plans for allowing some sort of feedback/stats to package creators for this kind of stuff?
