Metrics¶

Dated snapshots of the numbers behind your work: stars, forks, downloads, citations and anything else your connectors measure.

The Metrics page: a GitHub repo's stars growing from 2024 to today, with forks and their latest change

What's on it¶

One card per tracked item (a repo, a model, an author profile) with its latest values and the change since the previous snapshot, and a trend chart.
30D / 90D / 1Y / All sets the chart range; All sources filters by connector.
CSV downloads data/metrics.csv; Snapshot now records today's numbers.

Where the numbers come from¶

Every snapshot is a row in data/metrics.csv (date, source, item, metric, value), and each value is also a claim that quotes the API response it came from. The metrics-snapshot job adds a row every other Monday; GitHub's traffic numbers (views, clones) only cover the last 14 days, so regular snapshots are how you keep that history.

Growth over time is often stronger evidence than a single number. Keep snapshotting even when nothing seems to change. See Evidence that holds up.
