I'll create the feature request on the Forem repo as I think it'd be great if everyone could see their view/reaction gain per day etc on their dashboard.

I surfaced the issue you made in our Slack. We've definitely been taking a different approach with feature requests lately, but I want the team to take a look at this article and hear about your improvements.

Feel free to DM me here or on Twitter if you've got questions!
