Add 6 months and yearly shortcuts with week / month intervals
The URLs have now start and end dates (/example.com?start=2018-09-14&end=2019-07-27) but it would be nice to have shortcuts like this (/example.com?start=yesterday&end=today or /example.com?period=month or /example.com?period=6-months).
Thanks to @JustinNoelDev on Twitter
Thanks so much for implementing the date ranges! For longer ranges (6 months?), it would be great if the stats could be grouped by week. For example, this is a year of my site:
It's not very readable nor easy to see a real trend since every single day is plotted. If it was plotted by the total per week, it would present more useful information.
You're totally right! Thanks. We are updating our database to handle queries easily for this. But we first our moving our servers to The Netherlands, so it could take a while before it's implemented. But we are definitely going to do this!
Another customer shared this use case:
I often like to view my site usage statistics for today's date. I do it often enough that it'd be nice to create a bookmark in my browser that goes direct to the page for today's stats.
However, the URL for that page is something like:
https://simpleanalytics.com/example.com?start=2020-05-20&end=2020-05-20
And since it has today's date 2020-05-20 in the URL, this will be out of date for me when tomorrow rolls around.
Any chance you could add a shortcut like this instead:
https://simpleanalytics.com/example.com?start=today
And this link would automatically redirect me to the page for today's date? That way, I could bookmark the shortcut and save a bunch of time...
That makes a lot of sense. Lets do this one in the near future @hellodeibu!
I would suggest we use period=today together with start=yesterday&end=today like helpers. Maybe shortcuts like -3days and -5months would be cool as well.
