Hey everyone, do you know is there a website that tracks usage metrics around JetBrains and their products (e.g. IDEs, etc.)?

[CLOVIS]

What kind of metrics are you interested in?

[Tomas Pinjušić]

Thanks, @CLOVIS for looking into this topic. It's mostly connected to the question I've asked here, but if this is not available I'd be interested in any other resource you might know about. 🙏

[CLOVIS]

I don't think you'll find exact numbers, but check out the JetBrains Developer Survey

Thanks @CLOVIS, I've checked the end-of-year report (i.e. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/annualreport-2023/) and developer ecosystem survey (i.e. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2023/) but I'm looking for more data.

For example, this information is interesting from the report, but I was hoping to see much more details:

[CLOVIS]

You're asking for customer statistics. I doubt they'll give it to you.

[Tomas Pinjušić]

@CLOVIS Agreed, but I was hoping that I'd be able to gauge how used are these "target platforms"? Maybe I could use Github repo forks as some kind of engagement indication?

[CLOVIS]

Very few users actually fork libs. Most people don't interact on open source projects, and the few people that do do it a lot.

Maybe you could do some analysis on https://kamp.petuska.dev/, but honestly I don't know what the info is worth.
