@csuhta @defbyte @danielboggs What do you all think about creating a dashboard that’s displayed when you first log into the admin? Here are some examples of things we could show:

  • recently published items
  • top authors
  • analytics data
    • most viewed pages
    • most popular search terms
    • traffic sources
    • bounce rate
    • scroll depth
    • % of users on mobile devices
  • social media activity
  • recent comments

I think this would be a valuable feature for many organizations and would help WordPress users feel more at home with Tolaria.

This is out of scope for Tolaria.

Tolaria is a generic CMS. You can manage any Rails model that you dream up. The app you're building may not be a syndication platform. You may not have authors, a publishing model, comments, top pages, etc. If you frequently build syndication platforms with Tolaria, you can add such a dashboard to your own base build or master projects. Those things are custom to your project needs.

P.S. As a quick fix for analytics dashboarding, you can add analytics links to Tolaria.config.help_links to open a report you've built elsewhere.

Ok, makes sense. Will move to list of things to work on internally.
