Chart is a little misleading starting at 7% instead of zero, but still a nice surge nevertheless.

[–] FatCat@lemmy.world 139 points 11 months ago (2 children)

True. Other people asked so they posted another one.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 34 points 11 months ago (5 children)

IMO, this makes it look even worse.

[–] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 11 months ago

That's why they started with the one they did

[–] Pirky@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Even then, this is still a solid 30-40% increase in downloads. That's statistically significant right there.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Worse, or... "better"?

[–] steersman2484@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Does not look as nice, but is way less misleading

The total numbers are so small that the shape of the line barely matters. 7-10k installs daily? In the mobile browser market? There are plant identification apps with better numbers.

[–] matticusrex@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is that 7% or 7,000 installs total? The axis isn’t labeled!!

[–] Pirky@lemmy.world 46 points 11 months ago

I see a k following the numbers, so I'm assuming that's total number of downloads.

[–] matticusrex@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

Article states installs per day

[–] Kinglink@lemmy.world -4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not even seven percent. Lol. Seven thousand which is probably like .0001 percent.

[–] the_kung_fu_emu@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

That's new daily installs though, so cumulative number. I don't think they're trying to draw a comparison, just show the increase.
