With Kanka now one year old, time to look at some stats!

Let’s start off with some raw numbers.

Numbers

• 5’400 accounts created
• 42 accounts deleted
• 2’479 accounts logged in at least a second time (45%, up 1%)
• No accounts logged in more often than I did (700 times), and my lead on ArcOnyx (584 times) is increasing!

Statistics

Top 10 countries

• 39% of visitors are from the USA
• 10% from France
• 6.9% from the United Kingdom
• 6.5% from Brazil
• 5.8% from Germany
• 4.7% from New Zealand
• 4.5% from Canada
• 2.3% from Switzerland
• 2.3% from Australia
• 1.9% from the Netherlands

Switzerland is back in the top 10!

The app gets about 300 daily visits. This value was steady at 200 for several months and raised with the new users following some promoting of the app online.

Google tells us that the biggest demographic still is 18-34 year old (86% of users, going down) males (91% of users, going down).

Patrons on Patreon continue to be amazing and cover all hosting costs and help towards me hopefully being able to work fixed amount of hours per week on Kanka. We’re 10% towards the first life changing goal!

Community

The community around the app continues to be amazing! The support and encouragement I get daily is incredibly humbling and motivating.

The Discord continues to grow (230 users) with daily conversations, as well as people helping out each other when I’m away or sleeping, which is amazing. ArcOnyx has been promoted to Moderator, so be sure to send him, as is tradition, lots of flowers. Poolitzer built an awesome bot for the Discord, and a German-speaking “Die Kneipe” channel was opened.

The subreddit continues to be quiet.

Behind the scenes

Autumn was a wild month with the Patreon changes and the surge of new users. The biggest new features were the new Maps and Tags, an API for people to build tools with Kanka, translations to Italian, as well as fighting off DDos attacks and live streaming!

Some of the big features I want to work on in the upcoming quarter are:

• More livestreams talking about the app, world building and dungeon mastering.
• New visual identity.
• New permissions.
• Finishing and documenting the API.
• Promote more community content.

Helping Out

We are always welcoming to people who want to help out! Being the only developer makes it hard for me to find time to work on all the features I want for the app, as well as manage testers, translators, videos and content. Some skills that could help out include:

• PHP programing, preferably with the Laravel framework
• Javascript programing with good knowledge in jQuery
• SEO knowledge or even expertise. The app needs to be better advertised on search engines.
• Translators: Helping out with existing languages, or translating in new languages.
• QA testers: People who have time to test new features and break things.

If you have any experience in any of these fields and want to help out, please contact me on Reddit, Discord or hello@kanka.io.

That’s about it for today! Hope you all enjoyed this posted and I look forward to your continued support of the app.

As always, come say hi on the Discord, and thank you for using Kanka!
