Habr-analysis: what users order as a gift from Habr

Have you noticed that December is already on the calendar? You are probably almost ready for the celebration, bought gifts, participated in Habra-ADM and stocked up tangerines. Naturally, every Habra user wants to not only give, but also receive something for the new year. And since each of us is quite picky, we often order gifts ourselves.

Including we order gifts from Habr. Moreover, a whole year without interruptions. Let's see what we ordered this year and what we have already received from this. And also, what else can we get.

So, the most complete list of what users asked Habr for this year. Let's get started!

Introduction

This year was notable for the almost monthly AMA with Habr. And, of course, instead of simply asking questions about something, about everything and about nothing, the Habr community used the opportunity to ask for something of their own. In addition, there were several posts with announcements of changes to the site, which suffered a similar fate.

There are 15 such posts (their full list is under the spoiler), and comments on them are 3,596. Someone just had to read them all. Why not me?

Short statistics

In total, 114 desires were identified, which can be divided into 7 categories: tape (15), posts (24), comments (13), mobile version (12), tracker (4), voting (14) and so on (32). Of these 114 wishes:

- 8x completed (✓);
- 9x rejected (☓);
- 12x are not planned at the moment;
- 10x partially completed or in progress;
- 3 were "recorded" by the administration;
- 72x were left with unknown status.

Instead of a conclusion

Of course, not all suggestions and wishes of users were commented on by the administration, but some were immediately put into practice. Some of them did not receive answers from other users, and some received too many answers.

Some of these wishes have remained on Habré for many years and will never be fulfilled, and some have appeared recently. But now, during the month of the worldwide compilation of lists, it's time to compile this one.

I know that I might have missed something or not noticed, and besides, I studied only 15 main posts. This applies to both wishes and their fulfillment. So I’m happy to add or correct it as soon as I get more information.

I hope you found your desire on this list. There is a chance that it will come true very soon. Thanks for attention!

PS If you find typos or errors in the text, please let me know. This can be done by highlighting part of the text and pressing " Ctrl / ⌘ + Enter ", if you have Ctrl / ⌘, or through private messages . If both options are not available, write about errors in the comments. Thanks!

PPS Perhaps you will be interested also in my other studies of Habr or you want to suggest your topic for the next publication, or maybe even a new series of publications.
