Feature: Add public analytics of downloads- and views-counter. Make toggleable from "Edit Game"-page. #506

It would be really nice to be able to use those public numbers for say a job interview or similar situations where showing off your work is needed. Unfortunately, the current way of doing this is to basically take a screenshot of your dashboard/analytics page and send it to whoever you want to show your stats to.

The problem here is that those screen-shots will most likely be out of date in the span of a few days. Thus, it would make for a more streamlined and professional process to just link your relevant game pages, where the current downloads and views are already listed and up to date.

Gamejolt already has this feature, which made me wonder why Itch doesn't have it. Here's how they display the stats: https://gyazo.com/e57aefa454975961ab5dd505fcd6fb98

As of how the layout of pages looks right now there seems to be ample space to insert the numbers right underneath the "Download"-section, alternatively underneath the "Install Instructions"-section. See mockup: https://gyazo.com/4ee42dd112371d332ffaf039d5bc1569

Cheers!

I'd prefer them to the right of the downloads, each per a specific download, with a total below all of them. (The total taking into account past versions and such.)
