Twelve features, forty-eight requests, eight years of tickets, one funnel. This page
lines up four kinds of product time at once: when things shipped, what users asked for, where
it broke, and where people fell out. Every unit in every chart counts for something — one
hairline is a week, one dot is a request, one bubble is a stack of tickets.
IWhen features were born
Twelve features fanned out by launch week, big dots rolling down the diagonal
Launch fan · spoke start = launch week · big-dot area = monthly active users
IIWhat users are asking for
Forty-eight requests, pulled toward five themes
Radial convergence · rim dot = one request · hub area = requests per theme
IIIWhere it broke — eight years of tickets
Tickets follow GA: the moment a feature ships, its bubble starts to swell
Bubble almanac · bubble area = tickets that year · shade = five volume tiers · amber = the three biggest peaks · dashed ring = beta window
IVWhere people fall out
Barcodes are people, hairlines are the drop-off — the funnel isn't drawn, it's leaked
Hourglass stream · one stem ≈ 40 people · darker shade lower down · left edge = stage-to-stage conversion
7.4%
Visitor to paid, only 7.4% make the whole trip
4,200 visitors → 310 paid. The steepest drop is at Activation: half the people
who sign up never finish their first project. The 2023 ticket spike in the almanac and the
Performance theme in the convergence chart point at the same problem.
