Do we collect IP addresses of visitors to tiddlywiki.com?

I’m very impressed by the interface of Radio Garden

Could we ever have a similar map of TW users?

How could one compile such a map?

meanwhile: Relax FM, Vilnius, Lithuania.

This is done of the webserver host which receives all the requests for content. If that host is shared with other sites then the url needs to be taken into account.

TW does not collect any data. We did remove Google tracking quite some time ago.

For which I’m very grateful! Users can always add it back to their own wikis if they want, but really, don’t we want more privacy in this world?!

https://tiddlywiki.com is hosted on the free tier of GitHub Pages. Nobody outside of GitHub has access to visitor logs. All we get are some inscrutable graphs that make no sense at all:

I’ve made more visits to tiddlywiki.com myself than are shown in the graph.

Well, I also visited TiddlyWiki on Dec 11 according to my browser history… So if there were 2 unique visitors on that day, then everyone else who visited on that day is identical with you or with me (or both). GitHub must have fascinating criteria of uniqueness!

Those are really fascinatingly incorrect! I think I must average 5 visits a day.

Well, I would be honored to be either of you — let alone both!

To @TiddlyTitch’s OP, though, I’d also love to see such statistics… and I suspect that many TW fans may share a certain fascination with data (and remixing it, and presenting it in visually-pleasing ways), which may be what led us to the project in the first place. It’s a pity that there’s no good way to collect the necessary information without compromising visitors’ privacy — which we certainly shouldn’t do unannounced, and which would give only a fraction of the picture if done on a purely voluntary basis.

If the voluntary basis is analogous to one of those cookie-acceptance banners, where clicking “yes” or “no” is just as easy as dismissing the banner, AND if TiddlyWiki just did it for a slice of time…

Meanwhile if we don’t do it, maybe we should make more of a public “feature” out of that fact!

Yes, I’m in the 5-25 daily visits range just on my own. Where are those graphs? I didn’t think there was any such information at all for GH pages.
