The Open Times

Written here

Mailed by you

Wired to every network

Index

What actually landed

Most publishing tools show you opens and most social tools show you likes, and neither answers the only question worth asking: which piece of writing brought people in. The Open Times keeps both sets of numbers against the same post.

The post that won the subscriber

Signups and upgrades are attributed to the post a reader arrived on, so a piece that quietly converts is visible next to the one that merely got attention.

Counts, attached to your posts

Social metrics are stored per published target, so a post that went to three networks keeps three separate sets of numbers rather than one blended total.

Batched and rate-aware

Syncs run in batches against each provider's API, and posts deleted upstream are skipped rather than reported as errors.
