What day is better to write on "Megamind"?


    A couple of months ago, respected TM launched a startup support program on Megamind. We gladly decided to take part in it and submitted an application. A little later we received the long-awaited email that our application was accepted. Rejoiced and engaged in the preparation of the first post. As soon as he was ready, questions arose: “On which day is it most useful to publish it?”, “On which day are the most views / comments?”

    For answers and a small bonus, we ask for a cut:

    We are not looking for easy ways, so we scanned the last 50 pages of the Magamind and, having built a couple of graphs, answered this question.

    A few words about the technique:
    • In order not to reinvent the wheel, we decided to use the Silf script , from the research of 3 years ago.
    • The script was updated with adjustments for today's realities (the structure of comments has changed and company blogs have been added).
    • The last 50 pages of the Megamind were scanned, which roughly corresponds to the last 2 months.
    • Since we came to Megamind for feedback from users, instead of analyzing positive ratings for each post, we looked at the number of comments.
    • To see the whole picture, the obtained values ​​were normalized from 0 to 1.
    • This mini-study does not claim to be 100% accurate, but only shows an approximate picture.

    And here is the resulting schedule:



    Possible findings:
    • Entries published on Tuesday and Thursday are the most commented on.
    • On Sunday, there is minimal activity.
    • Most posts are published on Friday, respectively, and the total number of views on that day is also maximum.
    • Wednesday is a lull on all flanks.

    The schedule is mixed. We hope this note will help our colleagues in the shop.

    Promised bonus. Habr chart (last 100 pages)



    In light of the above, our “first” article can be expected on Thursday. See you soon!
