By the way, you've got over 400,000 downloads now.

May I know how you were able to work out the 40,000 users per day number please? That sounds like a really useful thing to be able to figure out for my own plugin.
Many thanks.

Ohh thx, yeah maybe i should update this number. The user number is an approximation.

Currently 12.000 - 15.000 unique users visit the Advanced Slides Documentation per day. (I use google analytics to track how which part's of the documentation was read by the user base)
I've read a statistic that on average 40% of the Desktop users are using adblockers (which removes them from tracking as well). I would guess that the target group of Advanced Slides is more tech affine, so this statistic does not fit them perfectly but it was enough for me for this approximation.
Another assumption i've made is that only every 3rd user is opening the documentation, but here i could be wrong

By the same assumption model as before it should be around 50-60k users.. Which could be a bit high since the installation base of 1.19 is 140k users...

Hope that helps ;-)
