Description

hey,
Thanks for building and maintaining such a great documentation resource. I am one of the contributors to tantivy - a library for building custom search applications.

I was wondering if you collect and would be able to share (privately, if you prefer) analytics for views of specific pages on docs.rs/tantivy.

Since we are building a library, not an application, our main method of helping our users is through examples, good code and documentation.

There are many types, traits and enums in our library and we would like to prioritise our effort to document them (ideally we would like to document all of them, but it's hard).

I think it will be useful to see the top 50 most visited pages on docs.rs/tantivy so we can spend time documenting the most sought-after items.

I appreciate the privacy concerns (entirely valid) and would only request anonymised, aggregated data for only docs.rs/tantivy.

Thanks again for all your great work on this!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points to inspect; it asks whether anonymised, aggregated page-view data exists for docs.rs/tantivy. Start by reviewing the analytics and privacy handling in the project, then determine whether the requested top-50 page report can be produced without exposing individual users.
