858256 - Add "Top Apps" tables

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Statistics, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

This is the only thing in the stats dashboard that is only a table (with no graph).  We're looking for three tables, with 100 apps each.

Navigation:

> Top Apps
> -> Free
> -> Paid by Downloads
> -> Paid by Revenue

> Free Apps
>   columns: Rank, App Name, Developer, # of installs

> Paid by Downloads
>   columns: Rank, App Name, Developer, # of installs, Revenue

> Paid by Revenue
>   columns: Rank, App Name, Developer, # of installs, Revenue

Each cell should link to appropriate content if available (eg. the app's name should link to its detail page).

Filtering should be by date, region, and carrier.

These are available only to admins right now.

Over what time-frame are we using to calculate the top N? E.g. Top 100 apps by installs over the last 30 days? 90 days? All time?

I think the requirement was all time, but you raise an interesting point.  If it's easy to add other timeframes, let's do that.  Otherwise, all time is good enough to close this.

I wasn't suggesting we could/should allow the user to choose the time-frame for these queries, but more questioning if we should limit it to a certain range.

Consider an app that was wildly popular for a short time then disappeared. It'll always be on the top 100 list until another wildly popular app replaces it. Would it be better to have a rolling top N list using install data for the past X days so the list is more relevant to the current top downloaded apps?

I think they are all interesting.  If you want to pick one instead of having a drop down, let's just do it.  I think it's unknown what the perfect view will be because right now we have nothing and this is a new system.

We're already working on v2 of this (See Ali's mockups) so let's get something out the door and we can iterate on it.  If you want a number, let's do 3 months rolling.
