Statistic graphs not overly useful #93

Open SomewhatDamaged opened 7 years ago

At the moment all the graphs except for Followers are mostly useless.

The Stories graph (looks like a shotgun spray to me) is really only giving one piece of information: what your most popular stories are. And it even does that badly (not dividing the views by chapters).

Blog Posts graph tells you nothing about your readers, just the frequency of which you blog (again, nothing really useful).

Could we have a pair of graphs that could give more useful stats about our audience? I am thinking "total views" (like what we used to have), but a second one giving a histogram of views sorted by the time of day/week/month (selectable) that they happen?

Another thought would be to instead have an editable page (like the user front page) so people can pick the statistics they want.

Those kinds of stats aren't possible because the data doesn't exist. I disagree with them being useless as is too, so I'm gonna close this as a matter of both opinion and infeasability.

edit: Misread story views for blog views. Gonna reopen for now because I may change the stories one.

Okay. Only reason I asked about it was (and you are probably hearing this a lot) the old system could show views per day (sum of all new views on all stories you have authored).

Erk, I may have left out that I am talking about the user stats page, not story ones.

These ones
