it might be hard to get honest answers from developers about this sort of thing in a public comment section. regardless, i like itch.io and i hope it continues to exist!
if itch.io want me to give them money i will do that.
i don't think it's particularly useful to get immediate analytics down to the exact minute, especially as for most minutes i know the answer (it's zero), but maybe it's useful for popular browser games idk.
