Discovering the Hive Report Card: What I Learned About My Blog Through Data
I came across a new tool called the Hive Report Card from this article:
Introducing Hive Report Card: A Tool to Analyse Content Complexity, User History, and More!
written by @holoz0r.
The tool basically provides a detailed report of all that has been going on in your Hive Blog. Right from the number of articles, engagement, and down to its readability. The categorization of the readability of your article is what I find intriguing about this tool, and it is not all. The placement of grades on each article is another interesting part. In this article, I will talk about the tool and how I used it to access my blog.
On your first launch to the tool's website:
https://holoz0r.github.io/HiveReportCard/
This is what you will be welcomed with:
The space provided below is for entering your Hive username.
After inputting your username, as shown in the screenshot above, click on 'Fetch All Posts' or 'Fetch Last 100' if you have been writing on Hive for a long time, like me. Note that it might take a couple of seconds more if you have many articles when you click on fetch all posts.
Once the tool is done fetching all your Hive posts, it will provide a list of analytics details about your blog broken down into different sections, namely:
Days
This section breaks down your post on your blog according to dates, from the first day you made your first post on Hive down to how many posts you make in a day. Other interesting categories under this section are
- Most Recent Post
- Total Posts
- Longest Streak
- Streak Period
- Longest Break
- Break Period and more.
Words and Images Per Post
This section breaks down your average words and images per post. For my @samostically blog has an average of 504 words with an image average of 12.2, meaning that the average post on my blog is made up of 504 words with at least 12.2 images. Also under this section, you can check in daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.
Posts by Day of Week
This section provides the number of posts you made on the Hive blockchain according to the days of the week, and through this section, you can discover which day of the week you made the most posts on your blog. For me, the day I made the most posts is Saturday, with a total of 130 posts.
Posts by Month of Year
This section shows the number of posts you made according to the months of the year, and you can also discover which month you made the most posts on Hive.
Mine is Friday, which is quite ironic, given that February has the fewest number of days in all the months of the year.
Posts by Year
This section does the same thing as Post by day and month, only this time it is being done every year. You get to discover in what year you made the most posts, according to the number of years you have been on Hive. Mine is in 2022, where I made a total of 333 posts in that year.
Words Published Over Time
This section shows the total number of words you have published on your Hive block. You can check for daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, whichever one you would like to see. My blog has a total of 460,577 words published overall.
Readability Over Time
This section shows how readable your post has been over time, ranging from -5, which is very unreadable, down to 12,7, which is very readable, using the Flesch Reading Ease Score. The circles in the middle of the graph and filled in other places are articles or posts made on my blog, and the same will appear on your blog as well when you use the tool.
Readability Distribution
This is the most interesting part about the tool for me because of how it assigns grades to the posts you make, according to the readability of your content. You get to see the percentage and number of posts that have been categorized according to the different categories, namely:
- Elementary
- Middle School
- High School
- College
- University
- Post-Graduate
- Professional
In the Reading Level, you can see the number of posts where I was graded according to the reading level.
- 5 posts, graded Elementary
- 25 posts, graded Middle School
- 242 posts, graded High School
- 264 posts, graded College
- 151 posts, graded University
- 68 posts, graded Post-Graduate
- 20 posts, graded Professional
Word Count Distribution
This section shows the word count according to your post under the various sections of the readability level grade. Starting for greater than 250 o less than 2000 words.
Engagement by Readability Level
This section should engage the readability level of your post. Through the bar chart, you get to know which readability level got the most engagement. For my blog, it was when I wrote like a university student that I got an average of over 50 replies. Then, when I was a professional with my post, I got fewer replies, below 10.
Engagement by Word Count
This section shows how the analytics of engagement on your post are according to word count. Showing the word count for the points where you got the most engagement.
Engagement by Content Type
This section shows the kind of post you made and the amount of engagement it got. It tells you what kind of post on your blog got the most engagement. For me, it was posts that had lots of pictures in them.
Lastly
The special power in this tool is that, after the analytics are filled with bar charts and graphs, at the bottom, you get to see your posts all detailed, organized into sections, word counts, number of images used, replies, and readability. Also at the bottom, you will find that you can search for the posts you have made using the filters of the readability level. So if you want posts where you sound like a High school student, you simply use the High school filter. Also, you can export your Hive report card in the form of CSV or JSON.
My Personal Thoughts on the Tool
Personally and I am speaking because I have used it, the tool is excellent and well-detailed. It can be used to track your progress on Hive, notice what areas of your blog are slacking, and what area needs improvement. That is not all, also what you are doing right and should continue doing to improve your blog. From time to time, I will be using this tool to keep track of my progress on Hive and I suggest you can do the same.
