Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are no official statements/pages/documents describing the state of analytics. I've read through the open issues and existing PR's and think I understand the current state, but many users are not going to find this info on Github.

Describe the solution you'd like
I do not believe the analytics API is currently available. Regardless, whatever does/doesn't exist should be clearly documented in the frontend UX. I think most users (including myself) assume that a site of Dev.to scale would have analytics available (more than basic views, and reactions) and it's nearly impossible to find information about that.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Impossible from user space.

Additional context
I think basic information such as

  • when your content was viewed
  • region/languages it was viewed from
  • avg read time
  • % conversion
  • user entry method (linked from Twitter, Google, Direct etc...)

This could be a perfect paid feature, don't you think?

@pkfrank do you think we could add some more info to the FAQ page about this?

@flrnprz Not sure how that fits into the business model, but I would personally have no problem paying for such a service (I do earn a good bay area salary though).

@jessleenyc any information would be an improvement over the current state.
