Yesterday I did an interview with a journalist about the Open Steno Project. It was really fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing the results in a few weeks! But one thing the journalist asked me was about the approximate size of the Open Steno community, and I thought that might be of interest to y'all, so I figured I'd post it.
Total downloads of Plover: 147,957
Now, of course this counts multiple releases potentially downloaded more than once by the same people, but still! That's a pretty respectable count, in my opinion! And of course that doesn't count people who are primarily using steno via Javelin, which would boost our numbers event more.
Plover Discord: 7,981 members
I'm really proud of this number too. Lots of really excellent people on there. One of them asked me to tell y'all about the Quote of the Day in the #raw-steno-only channel, where a different quote is posted every day and then everyone gets to show off their own idiosyncratic way of writing it. If you haven't yet joined the Plover Discord, you really should. It's the beating heart of the Open Steno community.
