UBports and UT stats

[libremax]

2020 is an important milestone for UBports and UT with new phones (pinephone, librem5 and may be vollaphone), halium 7.1 and may be Halium 9.1 to be used for new hardwares porting, new QT stack within sight :-), collaboration with others communities increasing,...

So it's interesting to follow how this affects certain data that are publicly available and gives an idea of the growth of the audience for UBports community and Ubuntu Touch.

Thanks, not really missed but I was a bit lazzy... added.
I added also Liberapay donators number (for which data on changes over time are available) and at next trimestrial update (in august), I will add Patreon donators number.

@AvrilPress That post should not be here so I have deleted it.

Good quarter for UBports with an increase in followers of around 15% (and 60% for donators via Liberapay).
The same goes for Pine64, PostmarketOS, Volla and /e/ foundation.
Less favourable evolution for Purism (+4%) and even less for Jolla (- 0,1%)

[libremax]

This quarter, a less sustained growth for UBports with an increase in followers between 5,5 and 11% for the different communication channels (and a stagnation for donators via Liberapay).
F(x)tec is added to twitter accounts monitored.

[libremax]

This quarter, the growth for UBports increase slightly with +8% of twitter followers and especially +21% for donators via Liberapay.
The counting of devices supported by UT is added.

Overall, a good year (from 20200213 to 20210213) with an increase in audience between 30% and 154% (for donators via Liberapay) for the different communication channels.

[libremax]

A 5% increase in twitter followers and UBports forum users, +3% for donators via Liberapay.
Growth continued to slow this quarter.

[libremax]

Growth rebounds slightly this quarter.
Distrowatch popularity added.

Three days late for this quarterly report but that doesn't change the trend which is one of gentle growth (less than 5%) with the notable exception of the number of supported devices which jumped by more than 20% this quarter. Thanks and congratulations to all the creators of these ports !

Great work!

Can I add that the number of downloads of the latest version of popular non-core OpenStore apps surely gives some sort of lower bound to the number of devices being kept up to date. The top three scores of apps that I have installed are at the time of writing as follows:

UTTweakTool: 11,724
Tagger: 8961
Dekko2: 8262

Even if some of the UTTweakTool downloads are from people experimenting with UBports, we must be approaching 10,000 up to date devices!

We are of course somewhat short of the claim of 3,000,000,000 (3 billion) claimed for Android, which shows the potential for future growth...

Keep up the Good work!
