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.
