LiChess online user graph with locations?

In CST time, when I play between 10 PM to 7 AM, my ratings are at their peak. Otherwise not.

I have seen my rating at 1700+ in that time, and it drops BELOW 1500 when I presume "many" and "quality" users are online around between 8AM to 11AM and 6PM to 10PM CST

LiChess is open-source, thus I want to request the developers to further provide to us a graph (not necessarily a real-time if not possible) where people can see how many users are/were active and from what demography (by capturing their IP addresses). This will help improve users' games at times when they feel they want to practice or hone their skills.

Currently, the only thing that is out there is prnt.sc/I6y9E7g2UuLo which does give real-time data but no previous data as to how many users have been active before in the past 24 hours or 7 days and from which location.

Would highly appreciate your comments devs :)

Lichess does not track people. Lichess doesn't reveal people's locations. That's one of the reasons people love Lichess.

Well, firstly they do. That is the basic analytics that any XYZ company implements on the website. IP address? Maybe not.

Secondly, even if we rule out "demography" from what I asked, the graph will be good enough. Just to see the online presence of users with time.

@thisisbullcrap

You are mistaken. Lichess doesn't track people. Period.

Lichess doesn't do "the basic analytics that any XYZ company implements on the website". You can see it yourself, the source code is publicly available.

I said that after looking at this: builtwith.com/detailed/lichess.org

Its okay. There are ways to do by own what I asked originally @WildTiger even for an end-user like me. I figured it out :)

I'm happy that you found a solution to your issue, @thisisbullcrap!

(I'm also confused, the linked webpage also confirms that Lichess doesn't use Google Analytics nor anything similar.)

It states that LiChess was using all sorts of analytics till Feb 2020. Don't know whether the reason to stop using those analytics is because of them updating their policies or something else.

In any case, it is confirmed that Analytics were used till Feb 2020 and also hard to rule out the fact that with 100,000 active users at any given moment, the website does not focus on user behaviour to improve the UX.

that's not 100% true i suppose because if they really doesn't track how they ip ban people so they track their ips .

Hi @PLSDONTCLOSEMYACC Security is a completely different issue. What we are talking here is the use of Google Analytics or similar spying software, compromising privacy of Lichess users.

Lichess doesn't do this, as even thisisbullcrap confirmed in their last post.

The topic is covered in detail at lichess.org/privacy
Lichess has every right to protect their site from abuse and does it with the technological options at their disposal.

Providing Lichess user data to Google is a totally different story.
