only-text.com / what people do

76 visits, 5% wrote something.

Last 30 days. A visit is one browser tab: close it and the count starts over, because nothing is stored to recognise you by. That makes these numbers a little high, and it is the trade we wanted.

What people write

13 sentences so far: 0% of them asked a question, 0% picked up a word from the sentence they replaced, the middle one is 11 characters long.

More of them begin with “？” than with any other word.

1 person has lost the page and come back to take it again. 1 sentence was replaced by the same person who wrote the one before.

From opening the page to writing a sentence

Counted per visit, not per click, so somebody who writes four sentences still counts once. The gap between typing and sending is the one worth watching: those are people who wanted to and then did not.

Where they came from

“direct” means no referrer at all: a bookmark, an app, or somebody typing the name. Only the hostname is kept, never the full address, because search pages put the query in there.

Which countries

On what

Taken from the width of the window, not from the browser’s user agent. That string is long enough to recognise people by, and this is not meant to.

How long they stayed

Median visit: 5.0s

Measured on 119 visits that reached the end cleanly. A tab killed by the system never reports back, so treat this as a floor.

Losing, and telling people

Watched someone else take over: 4

Watched their own sentence go: 0

Median time those sentences stood: not set yet

Clicked a share link: 1

Nobody has lost a sentence while watching yet. That is the moment worth waiting for.
