Eliminated the Fediverse Wrapped shareable card functionality by deleting the template, removing related rewrite rules, query vars, and rendering logic from Statistics, and cleaning up associated JavaScript and dashboard UI elements.

Keeping it to structure, I'd see if there are stats we can bump as they occur instead of aggregating monthly. I reckon that'll probably be more accurate, especially for things we can't or are hard to query after the fact.
One of the reasons Jetpack is so powerful is because it can store large amounts of data, process them remotely, and aggregate them. It might be worth considering making this a jetpack integration instead of hoping an option is enough?
The dashboard widget is neat, is there something we can do to make that a bit more interactive?

add_cron_schedules, register_schedules, deregister_schedules should live in Scheduler.

Rather than sending it as an email, I'd create a landing page that can be shared. maybe we could even create a summary image or something?
The email should just link to the landing page.

I thought about a block, so that you can use it in a post and share that.

Not sure if this is still structural, but I'd send it on the first of December or in the first week of December.
That's when others send out those notifications, ready for the end of the year.

Normally yes, but I though maybe I can have a version out by januar ;)

@obenland thanks for your feedback! 🫶 |
I somehow agree, that we might be able to have a collab, but you checked the number of folks that have both installed an that is quite low. So I would love to have at least a basic stats feature in the plugin, to maybe motivate users to interact a bit more!? |
- Move cron schedule methods (add_cron_schedules, register_schedules, deregister_schedules) from Scheduler\Statistics to main Scheduler - Move helper methods (get_next_first_of_month, get_next_january_first) to main Scheduler - Update dashboard stats widget to get actors on JS side like the reader - Use @wordpress/core-data to check actor mode and capabilities - Remove PHP-passed actors from Statistics_Dashboard
