Some cursor library stats

Published by Vlasta about 5 hours ago.

I was looking through some statistics recently and thought it would be interesting to share one of them. The following numbers show how many cursor sets were published each month over the last two and a half years:

There are clearly some outlier months in there, and these numbers say nothing about the quality of the published sets. Some months were driven by a few very active authors, others by events or contests. Even so, I like the overall trend. Compared to the middle of 2024, the library has become consistently more active, and activity has stayed at a healthy level for quite a while now instead of depending on occasional spikes.

I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed during this period. Whether you published one carefully crafted cursor set or dozens of them, the library has grown because of your work. It has also been nice to see people using the newer features instead of just treating the site as a place to upload files.

One recent example is Nibbler's huge avatar icon assembler. It is exactly the kind of project I hoped people would create once icon assemblers became editable by the community. I hope we'll see more high-quality assemblers in the future. They take considerably more effort to build than ordinary icons or cursor sets, but they also offer something unique that a static image simply cannot.

Let's see where the next year takes the library. If the recent trend continues, I'll be quite happy with it.
