Hey Skritter Team,

I was curious if there ever will be (or in the past has been) a release of some general statistics or graphs of "average" Skritter user activity and learning?

As someone that deals with a lot with data, graphs, statistics for my studies and professional work, I personally take a lot of interest in the graphs of my own progress, and was just thinking how neat it would be to see similar progress charts for the average user during their first year on Skritter.

After about 3 months I've just noticed my "words" count is starting to quickly eclipse my "character" count, and figure there is probably a trend for when this happens with other users too (either in time, or character count).

It'd also be interesting to see that sort of "average first year progress" graph conditioned by the commitment of the user - i.e. a chart for students that average <2 hours a week, 2-4 hours a week 4+ hours a week, etc to see how different commitments lead to different rates of learning and retention. Average characters learned and retained per hour studied (i.e. a simple number, not graph) would also be interesting, in average and for different types of students.

Just a thought for something that might be interesting for us users (and indeed your team!) - could also be an eye-catching figure(s) to include on the opening page to potential users! I know everyone there is busy with the iOS work, but [!maybe!] this is a relatively painless averaging to do at some slow point in the future...

just so you know, the statistics aren't entirely accurate. For example, according to my numbers, I've learned 2,000+ characters.

However, I export my words to an excel sheet regularly to sift through the data myself. I've really only learned 1,879 characters.

Sure thing, acknowledged, very few statistics are; I'm still interested in the best approximation available!

Was I the only one who read the title and thought of having erotic images added for an erotic list section?

@ddapore99 - yes, very dissapointed with the actual nature of this topic! :/ lol

You can put whatever images you want in your custom definitions... ;)

There are plenty of statistics to calculate, graphs to produce, and machine learning projects to run--we have some excellent data. Just not enough time. My girlfriend is actually running a machine learning project on what makes certain characters difficult right now.

We'd love to see her conclusions!

We can put images in our custom definitions? 濡れる will be my favorite vocab. lol

Yeah, you just do img:http://www.example.com/super_memorable_and_hopefully_small_image.jpg in the custom definition. It'll automatically scale it down for you, but thumbnail links are best if you're not picking small images to start with.

Thanks, that's awesome about the images! I'm putting some of my chinese character collages in.

FYI: it does NOT work with https, but if you change to http it's ok.
