"First Moments" Analysis

[AuroraLS3]

I would like to be able to..

.. compare impact of actions taken to improve new player retention.

• .. see the session activity of players who joined within the last 24h or last 7 days
• .. compare the session activity to that of previous weeks
• .. see how many players were online during the session
• .. see if the player is banned
• .. see how much the player played
• .. get a link to their player page

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• Current retention metrics are sub-par for measuring the impact of new player retention. It is difficult to see the difference in actions from 30 day insights and a single number.
• The current sessions view is too crowded to focus on new players
• The current server session calendar contains data for all players instead of just new players
• The query page does not give insight into session activity of the matched players

Created the mockup in React, continuing some other time since this seems to take a while.

TODO

• [ ] Create json endpoint
  • [ ] Input
    • [ ] ISO-8601 Date
    • [ ] Server UUID (optional)
  • [ ] Output
    • [ ] List of sessions within that day (of players who registered that day)
    • [ ] Players online graph data within that day (Consider multi-proxy)
    • [ ] Player metadata such as Ban status
    • [ ] Color for online graph, sessions and new players
    • [ ] Formatted date for the ISO-8601 date that was input
• [ ] Make the mockup use the endpoint
• [ ] Wire up the previous and next buttons to change the date (consider calendar input as well)
• [ ] Cleanup and make the whole thing useable
• [ ] Consider if it would be interesting to see sessions like this on the Sessions tab and open new ticket for that

This doesn't unfortunately seem to be at all useful when using real world data, especially comparing to how useful clicking on a calendar day seems to be compared to this.

I'm scrapping this feature.
