Dashboards

Light Mode

A light mode dashboard displays the total number of users and teams you are tracking, the activity rate, and the cost per active user. To calculate the cost, you can set up a budget in the settings, such as your yearly marketing and developer relations budget. Additionally, we differentiate between the commitment level of each developer based on their commit consistency in projects containing your dependency.

Identifying Active Users

Our analysis predominantly centers on contributors directly. For instance, upon importing a repository from GitHub, we scrutinize all contributors and examine all repositories they contributed to in the past. If a contributor is monitored via a dependency, we can promptly discern whether they have ever committed to or created a repository with your dependency. Only then do we regard a developer as being part of your ecosystem. Subsequently, basic activity entails having made at least one commit within the last six weeks.

Activity Insights

• Full-Time Contributors: Contributed code on 10 or more days within a month.
• Part-Time Contributors: Contributed code on fewer than 10 days within a month.
• One-Time Contributors: Contributed code once within a rolling 3-month window.

This metric is inspired by the developer report from Electric Capital (opens in a new tab) and is consistently used in our methodology.

Stats

We offer a variety of stats which give you more interesting insights. This is just the start we have planned to map social graphs and many other helpful analytics about your community.

KPIs

Calculation of KPIs like the cost per active dev metric involves dividing the budget by the corresponding ROI metric. It's recommended to include every expenditure related to the event in the budget for precise outcomes. If the KPI is not available (N/A) it either means you have not setup a budget or the ROI of that specific metric is 0.
