Views and time are functions of a front end and can not be provided by the blockchain. For example peakd shares info on views to a post and we could do that with communities but it would be only for our site and only for those who don't use blocking apps.
In fact all 6 of those items are not stats that can be given by a blockchain but would have to be given by the front ends.
On related news we hope to show which are the most viewed communities... meaning sort at least a decent number of the communities by how much they are viewed. We'd like to do that with most popular topic pages as well as most popular communities... such as we are doing now with most popular posts.
Gotcha. I suspected that would not be possible at blockchain level. But it would be very appealing for people used to google analytics or the stats in flickr for example. Is a layer 2 solution that would serve stats to all front ends possible? or a p2p stats database between frontends? I don't know. As you can probably tell I don't know much about the technicalities. I just think it would be very valuable to have less fragmented stats.
yeah! great. Communities views sounds very useful.
