State of the Union

I found myself getting very backward looking tonight. So I started digging through some of the data on Hexday.

Hexday was started on November 6th 2007.

That day we had 3 posts:

1. JP (me) picked a fairly flat green
2. Tom picked white
3. Jim and Chompski both picked black

Since that date there have been:

168 people sign up for hexday
1,109 colorpicks made
27,285 hex values added to the system
539 images sampled
65,000 page views
7,300 unique visitors



Only 33% of visitors have been using a Mac, 62% where using Firefox, over 70% had a screen resolution larger than 1280×1024.

The most searched on colors that ended up at the site were:

1. #0e1f23
2. #ffccff
3. #282828
4. #f2f2f2

The top ten most prolific users have selected:

1. JP - 232
2. Tom - 120
3. Cryptoskunks - 85
4. SykesUK - 45
5. Eric - 43
6. Pabranch - 39
7. JerseyCat40 - 33
8. David - 32
9. Jim - 23
10. RickD - 22

One of the features I’m working on is more stats views, so I’ll be looking at automating these sorts of stats, for overall, last month, last week. Both looking at analyzing users and also colors. What a chart that shows which colors you pick at what time of the day, stats that show if you’re more likely to pick a red color on a tuesday and a light color at a weekend, that’s the sort of things I’m aiming for.

For now, I’d like to say a big thanks to everyone mentioned above, what I like to think of as the hexday “founders”, and once again a big welcome to all the new users who have joined in the last few weeks, we’re now averaging about
