@cassidy Make your userbase 50% larger with this one simple trick!

@alatiera this is 100% why we should script this and publicize it better; then at least we could agree on the methodology and numbers!

@cassidy @alatiera github action?

@sonny @alatiera yeah I mean could do, I (or someone) would have to actually write a script. So far I’m just doing it all by hand:

• Find the most-used platform in the Flathub stats

• Look at the release numbers/dates of the FreeDesktop SDK

• A little bit of reasoning to pick two recent sequential releases more than a short time apart (e.g. not within days of each other)

• Use the handy third-party stats aggregator (https://klausenbusk.github.io/flathub-stats/#ref=org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default%2F23.08&downloadType=updates) to add the daily updates between the two releases

@cassidy @alatiera I've been wanting areweflatpakyet too for ages

Number of apps with sandbox holes, missing features, etc

So whatever ends up being used I might reuse

@cassidy number of very active users!

By SaaS standard "active" means something like "logged in once in the last 6 months" 😃

cassidy, 1 month ago

@sonny yeah exactly—I don’t think this methodology can give us a precise “monthly active users” metric, but that’s probably the closest equivalent. And it doesn’t account for any users who don’t install updates for each release (e.g. on a computer that’s usually offline or only used once a month or less).
