Nice idea. I can't comment on the product as I wouldn't personally use it - but in terms of the site.
- the rate counter is distracting. Also the cynic in me checked the source code (and refreshed a couple of times) and I see it's static. That puts me off slightly. EDIT: I would make it static and just say "Tracking XXXXX events - and counting!"
- the slideshow layout at the top is, I think, broken on Chrome (Linux). For example games, levels, reports seem to appear randomly on the left behind the buttons and some of the slide pages drop over the counter.
Otherwise nice design :)
- benologist 17y agoThe counter's a mix of dynamic and static hehe. The system doesn't actually update in real time so it looks at what its done at the last update, compares it to the update before, and applies the previous events/second. It updates 2 or 3 times an hour so although it's never quite right it's never very wrong either - for instance right now it says: - 1,818,889,440 approximation - 1,818,804,151 real, as of 13 minutes ago. - 140 events per second, real but based on the last update not right now It's processing another log file right now and there's one 1/4 complete file on one server and one 1/2 complete file on the other, so right now the approximation is probably close to 2m events less than the truth. I'll have to do some more testing to see what the issue is with the stuff at the top. Thanks for letting me know.
- dho 17y agoI would replace the counter with something like "We track about 140 events per second". That's easier to understand than some counter, where you don't know when it was started.
