Upgraded Data Insights on Our Stats Pages

Here’s a breakdown of the improvements ⬇️

Stories Stats Page

• Bigger Graph: A new, larger graph displays the total time readers have spent on a story since its publication. It allows for date navigation and shows when a story was trending on the Tech Beat, along with its position in the rankings.
• Additional Data: Just below the graph, you’ll find detailed information, including total reads, words written, days live, story translation options, mentions around the web, and a downloadable story audio file.
• Interaction Tables: At the bottom of the page, tables display recent interactions with the story, including comments and reactions.

Here’s how it looks:

Profile Stats Page

The latest update includes:

• Profile stats: total reading time, number of stories published, words written, and total reads
• Subscribers’ Section: total number of subscribers, date of newsletter creation, the alias email address used for sending the newsletter, and a subscriber management section with options to import and export subscribers.
• Story Stats: fully reorganizable table with all story data including story title, number of reads, reading time, date of publication, and export option to download your content as a PDF or audio file
• Newsletter Stats (available for newsletters sent after May 2024): fully re-organizable data table that aggregates all the newsletters sent up to date, including their title, date delivered, number of emails sent, links clicked, and emails opened. This data is also fully downloadable.

Improved Story Page Navigation

We rolled out a brand-new look for our story pages, featuring improved navigation, an enhanced 'About the Author' section, and fresh pixelated icons.

First up, we've prioritized readability by giving stories more screen space and placing the Story Title alongside Translations and TLDR summaries. In the revamped "About the Author" section, you can now spot authors’ CTAs (Call-to-Actions), allowing for quicker exploration of related works, connecting on socials, or taking any other action the authors have enabled. You’ll also find new pixelated icons for bookmarking, reacting, commenting, and sharing!

Profile Pages’ New Look

Profile pages got a fresh look! Now, you can easily find the "Learn more about this author" button right under the bio, and the "Subscribe To This Writer" button just below the general stats, followed by CTAs.

You can also reorganize stories by latest or most popular, pin your favorites, and see all essential story stats in the story cards, including tags, reads, reactions, and comments.

The comments section now looks sleeker and cleaner, while still providing all the essential information. Plus, don’t forget the work section, where you can showcase all your current and past job experiences!
