How many people use Snap?
All of us
And how many is that?
Like the population of Snap
As of today we have ≈800K user accounts, of which ≈20K have been active in the past month. 6500 projects were updated in the past day. We have ≈8M projects altogether, of which ≈100K were updated in the past month. We have ≈10K new users in the past week, but it's the beginning of the school year so that number is higher than average.
It's really kind of scary.
Wow! Cool!
This should probably be in help with snap not advanced topics
Fixed.
how many recently of the active users have had their accounts for a long time?
i think schooling and such would cause people to create an account, make three or four projects for assignments, then go inactive.
to me a user doing that is more of a "visitor" than part of the "snap population"
I don't know if we know that. We know how many people have saved projects recently, which is how we measure the active user community. I agree that it'd be interesting to know how many long-time active users we have.
Maybe some of you know how many Snap*!* forum accounts? That way it\s more accurate exactly how much people using Snap*!*.
people writing on the forums aren't necessarily making snap projects. at this point i find snap runs too slow and is too limited in just the right ways that i don't bother making snap projects. i DO like seeing the odd discussions on the forums.
the forum in general seems to have a focus on neat concepts and hypotheticals, large projects don't actually get shared all that often.
tweens talk about adding new stuff onto existing features, working around half-baked features, bh weighs in on nearly everything with plenty of experience.
and jens is extremely rude to everyone
i wouldn't consider myself to be an active snap user.
Oh, no, hardly anyone uses the forum, compared to how many people use Snap!. For one thing, the conversation in the forum is almost entirely in English, and we have large German-speaking and Catalan-speaking user communities who, I guess, use other channels to share ideas, plus smaller groups in other languages. For another thing, as Jens complains, too much of the discussion in the forum is about things like modding Snap! rather than about using Snap!, and maybe that scares away beginners. And, a third thing, the vast majority of our users are students in courses based on Snap!, and even though they program in Snap! every day, they don't necessarily view themselves as part of a user community beyond their own school.
Let's not forget that a lot of people use Snap but don't have an account. I was using Snap a couple years before I had an actual account.
