Extension summary

The main objective of this plugin (at its first version) is to collect metrics about your copy/paste activities on Stack Overflow and to generate monthly and yearly reports.

The plugin collect three metrics, grouped by day or by month:

  • Sum of visited pages (no duplicates)
  • Sum of "copy commands" sent inside questions' pages (CTRL-C / COMMAND-C / Right-click copy)
  • Sum of visited pages

You can also view the history of your visited pages using the link "View history" under the main chart.

You can backup your history using the "Export data" function inside the main menu. This will create a .sou file that contains all your usage data.

ATTENTION: this plugin doesn't work on pages that were already open (loaded) before its installation!

Disclaimer: this is an unofficial plugin created as a tribute for the best community in the world: Stack Overflow.
