Welp, my 40 days of sketching journey blog is up. The 'failed' days I filled up with pictures from my travels. Either way, I think there are still quite some interesting tidbits to find here and there.

So yesterday ended the second half of 40 days of sketching. Did I succeed? No.
Do I really mind, not really as the first 20 days were the most important ones to me. I did notice some side effects during my holiday due to doing this.

Either way, going to wrap it up this(?) week or so in a blog and probably fill the non-sketching days in with photo's from my travels on location.

You can now access your analytics! Hope you find them interesting and useful for a number of reasons.
Read more about it in this announcement thread!

P.S. Happy 15th birthday MC!!

Well, that's day 20 of 40 days of sketching. Quite odd, on one hand it's not a lot of days but in another way while looking through them. A lot has happend. in terms of progress.

Either way, I am looking forward for the next 20 days to sketch on location. Quite different compared to sketching from google streetview. The only downside? possible bad weather & roughly 20~24 hours of traveling needed from closing the front door behind me, all the way to my first place to stay. But that's something for tomorrow morning.

day 7 left | right day 17

ps. the houses are from the country I am going to for my vacation.

PMC! Soooo, I have good news and "bad" news!

Good news, the Creator Analytics update is ready but the bad news is the timing isn't right to launch. I have some IRL things happening that require my undivided attention. All good things though, so no worries there. It's just best to wait until things are settled so that I can return the same attention to the update and you.

Creator Analytics WILL release next month! It took longer than initially expected for a number of unexpected reasons but scope of work also grew in many directions for the best. There's always more to do after the launch but there's more than enough to be useful and fun now and into the foreseeable future and historical past interests. Always nice when things motivate you to go, go, go. Didn't help switching chart libraries last week but know it was the right decision for the short and long run.

You'll see soon and I'm looking forward to having the proper time to respond to bugs and feature requests.

So... day one in the pocket of my own sketch journey.

Being inspired by Stubbs1 Sketch journey's one and two. I decided to do my own version of it. Not 60 but 40 days of sketching. The first 20 to get the very basic's down or rather, re-evaluate what I always used as base without really questioning it.

The last 20 days, doing actual urban sketching while traveling abroad / being on vacation. With the main goal to be in better shape in my vacation than the previous years.

p.s. also making this post to give an additional kick under my own butt, to do it actually for 40 days.

I know it's tempting but whatever you do, don't press any of the moderation buttons that show up on resource pages! It won't be until Tuesday that we'll be back in the office to look at any of this :(

Hi PMC, hope you're having a great weekend!

After a roller coaster ride of locating, merging, migrating and auditing massive amounts of data (nearly a billion records), I'm back on crossing off front-end features until remaining tasks are down to launch preparation. The bulk of the work is done, last 10% requires pushing through and eventually leaving some ideas for post launch.

Just going to drop several work in progress screenshots from various analytics sub-pages and let them do the talking:

It's been a while since my last build. Apparently a year minus 2 days... Which means I am also now roughly 11,5 years on PMC

Either way, to keep things interesting & trying something new for presentation; I tried making a video. It's rough (including grammar, it's google translated not my strongest point) but interesting to give it a shot.

So for my latest build. A redstone powered Shinkansen below my first video attempt.

I'm working on our Creator Analytics update and while it has grown in scope, it's more interesting and useful than I first imagined.

Here's a sneak peak of just the top half of a random members analytics widgets!

Each widget has a full page view that allows for an in-depth exploration of its data and insights. You will have the flexibility to navigate through various time frames, extending back to the inception of your membership or the publication date of your content, depending on the specific context. Relevant content, notifications and more will be readily available to explain and learn more about your analytics.

Still not sure when it will be ready but every day, it's getting closer :P
