What's New
New updates and improvements to CraytaKit
Missing some daily plays
Fix
We're missing some daily plays between may 4th and 11th. There wasn't actually a tank in activity, a bug just prevented them from being tracked.
The graph should return to normal over the next week, since it's a rolling average.

- Added a published at column to the games tables

New Users by Day
Update
There's a new graph on the home page - new users by day.
This graph has the Y axis maxed at 100, to better visualize the data, but do hover any of the bars - some of them exceed 1000.
Please note that this is only players who have created a game or placed top 10 in a leaderboard - it's not every player that launches the game.

Games table improvements
Update

Follows!
New
You can now follow users and games through CraytaKit
Simply go to the game or user that you wish to follow, and press the "Follow" button. By default, CraytaKit will notify you on the website, and try to send you a PM through discord.
The discord PM will only succeed if you share a server with the CraytaKit bot.
You can click the gear icon after following something to change your notification settings for that game or user. Notably, you can opt it to receiving emails.
There are 2 notification types:
1. A new game is created - when a user you follow publishes a new game, you will get a notification.
2. A game is updated - When a user you follow updates any of their games, or if a specific game you follow is updated, you will receive a notifcation.
Game notification settings take precedence over user notifications. If you follow a user and opt in to emails, and then additionally follow one of their games and opt out of emails, you will not receive emails about that specific game.
In addition, there is now a "Feed" on the home page when signed in. This displays your most recent followed activity.
