The Platform Update page provides an overview of growth, activity, and ongoing trends across the system. It highlights how users are engaging with the platform over time, how repertoires and libraries are evolving, and how new features continue to shape study and analysis habits. Each section summarises key statistics and usage patterns drawn from the platform’s live data, offering a snapshot of both overall scale and the depth of user interaction.
This information is intended to give a clear picture of platform development, track long-term progress, and document the continued expansion of user activity across all major areas of the ecosystem.
April 2026
The following figures represent the latest platform statistics as of April 2026. This update reflects continued steady growth across all major areas of the platform, with incremental gains in both user acquisition and engagement. The data indicates a stable and maturing ecosystem, where increased scale is supported by consistent usage patterns and deeper analytical activity.
Users
The platform has reached a total of 4,645 registered users, representing continued growth since January 2026. User acquisition remains steady, reflecting sustained organic demand and ongoing platform visibility.
Engagement metrics show modest increases across all time horizons. The platform currently records 44 daily active users (1-day active), 125 users active within the last 7 days, 179 users active within the last 14 days, and 414 users active within the last 30 days. This continued expansion across all activity windows highlights stable retention alongside gradual increases in returning users.
The introduction of subscriptions, launched at the end of 2025, is beginning to translate engagement into direct platform support. The platform currently has 15 Basic memberships and 3 Pro memberships, indicating initial conversion from free to supported usage. Subscriptions are designed to support ongoing development while ensuring that the core platform remains accessible, allowing users to continue benefiting from its features regardless of their level of financial commitment. While still modest in scale, this reflects early adoption of the platform’s support model within the existing user base.
Taken together, these figures indicate a platform that continues to grow while maintaining consistent engagement across both new and existing users.
