New Year 2017

Русская версия

Hi there. As usual, at the end of the year, we want to sum up and recall what we have created and achieved.

During this year we rolled out not so many new features for the main site, but we have created a new project "Ely.by Accounts", which have opened the way to future development and improvement of Ely.by and some completely new directions, that we will be working on in 2017.

By the end of 2015 year our project have began to speak English. A little bit later we have added Portuguese. This allowed us greatly expand the geography of the project. Just compare the following two maps:

Here you can see the countries, from which we have received noticeable number of users before introducing english version of site. And here you can see the current state:

As in Plague Inc., Greenland does not give up until the end :) We are very happy, that our project grows and has users practically from all over the world!

Also in this year we have finally established stable and fast site functioning, fixed issue with skins restorer and rolled out a new, more performant skin system to be able to handle more and more users everyday.

Last year we have set some goals, lets check, what we have achieved:

  • 600 000 users — achieved. At the time of writing this post, the number of Ely.by users has exceeded 660 000 users.

  • 25 000 users a day — we assume that fulfilled. Currently our analytic system does not allow us to count completely all of our users. We know, that site is visited by about 14 000 users, but the number of Ely.by users, using TLauncher is much more, so we can assume, that we have reached the goal :)

  • 300 000 unique skins — achieved. I would even say that strongly fulfilled. Currently in Ely.by database we already have 685 000 unique skins and this number continues to rapidly grow.

As it was a year ago, we already have the new plan for the next half year. To have what to count in the end of 2017 year, lets set a new brave goals:

  • 1 500 000 users.

  • 1 000 000 unique skins.

  • 50 000 users — daily audience of all Ely.by projects.

Happy New Year! We'll see you very soon in the upcoming update!

Goodbye.
