Very nice! :clap: :clap: :clap:

One detail: is it just me or does the “Events by location” map not actually show the locations on the map? I can see the table listing the country codes & numbers next to the map, but from what I remember about Metabase it ought to be able to show the numbers on the map too.

Ooh yes you’re right @Dave, thanks for flagging! I’ve got a vague memory that there’s a bug in Metabase where pin maps stop working over a 1000 pins, which is what we’ve got there. I’ll have a look. I think the recommendation is to switch it to a region map at that point, which I think is a bit less interesting, but hey at least it’ll work…

To compare the numbers to the previous quarter (with a :star: meaning new record, to get into the Olympic spirit :slight_smile: ):

Q1 2024 Q2 2024 Difference Change
Items logged 11865 :star: 12513 :small_green_triangle: 648 5.46%
Events logged 933 :star: 1055 :small_green_triangle: 122 13.08%
Groups created 53 52 :small_red_triangle_down: -1 -1.89%
Users created 325 268 :small_red_triangle_down: -57 -17.54%

(for next time, I think more interesting would be ‘active groups’ and ‘active users’)

I’ve changed it to a region map - a bit less interesting, but at least it works. You can also get the pin map to work by limiting the results to 999, but then obviously some events are excluded which is a bit confusing when you compare it to the count to the right. The Metabase issue is here.
