How many users of RetroPie?
-
@slikvik people are suspicious because of the number of people who are cashing in on RetroPie. I'm glad your project is not just another one related around selling RetroPie.
I don't have any real stats. You can get image download count from github API.

I don't have any accurate usage stats. You can get image download count from the github API though. Some images have been downloaded 400k times however that doesn't mean there are that many users. Forum has about 11k users.

@buzz Okay, thanks anyway Jools. I appreciate what you're saying. I did look at GitHub for a download count before even posting here but you're saying I need to actually use the API to get it?
-
@xeon who is this "we"? You do not represent the RetroPie project. Better to stick to giving your own view.
-
@slikvik yes. Check the github API docs. Can query it from a browser easily enough.

Great stuff. Thinking about it, forum users is also a great (possibly better) indicator. Thanks!

@slikvik Sorry for the hostility but i have read up on the cash in's on this project.
So were all a bit on the defense side. -
No problem @Xeon. As soon as I can reveal more, I will, and will appreciate any feedback.

@slikvik this is a quick web tool that shows stats from the GitHub api:
