Description

Suggestion from @DrDrij (via PR #194 review)

The metrics bar below the hero currently shows content counts (8 Lecture Series, 5+ Books, 30+ Workshops, 2 Code Libraries). DrDrij suggests adding big usage numbers like yearly readers and downloads to make the stats panel more impactful.

Potential metrics to feature:

  • Yearly unique visitors/readers (analytics dashboard shows ~25-35K monthly users)
  • Total downloads across code libraries
  • GitHub stars across QuantEcon repos
  • Countries reached

Requirements:

  • Numbers must be accurate and verifiable
  • Consider whether to hardcode or fetch dynamically
  • The analytics dashboard at /analytics-dashboard/ may be a source for these figures

Reference: The existing metrics bar is in _layouts/home.html in the qe-metrics section.
