Topic/Subject
This is related to the Tools Catalog project. We'd like to have a blog post that explains how to gather metrics from Slack, Discord, etc. as a measure of community size and growth.
This should be a very pragmatic how-to / tutorial where the reader is a DevRel or DevRel-adjacent person who wants to understand trends and health of their community as it relates to communication platform tools.
- what metrics to use from the platform
- how to get it
- how to track it over time
- how to present it to stakeholders
- examples of good benchmarks could be interesting
So for example, if it was Slack, this how-to would talk about the analytics that slack provides, how to pull that data out, and give examples of a few communities where the data can be shared. Same for Discord would be ideal.
