Hello @Michal_Gebacki!

I'm proud of the "The most solutions authored", is there a place to see this type of metrics as a timeseries viz?

[Michal_Gebacki]

Hello, @MaximilianoML!

Sorry for making you wait for so long, but.. I'm going back with good news, as indeed - these metrics can be displayed in more insightful, attractive, and entertaining way! Initially it was an experiment, but eventually it worked good enough to use it for the future newsletters as a new data displaying method, so you'll se more of that in the future. I used a quarter timestamp, displaying activity of the past 3 months, showing the most 5 active Community Users in 6 categories. A two views are prepared: in total, and by user (sorry if it looks overwhelming and a little bit crowded).

Hope it's interesting!

Pinging everyone who backed excellent Maximiliano's idea, that served for us as a challenging inspiration:)
