4 views, 2 reads in the first month — the starting point for the publication.

Volatile numbers, with a dip in Aug–Sep. Format experiments during this period — analogies, "Common Mistakes" sections, and hands-on experiment-based structure were introduced and iterated on.

114 views in October — the first time the publication cleared that threshold. No subsequent month has dropped below it.

Nov: 232 views / 115 reads. Dec: 275 views / 140 reads. First consecutive months exceeding 100 reads, indicating a returning readership rather than one-off traffic.

410 → 394 → 760 views across January, February, and March. March closed at 760 views and 388 reads — the highest single-month figures since launch. Q1 2026 alone accounted for more traffic than all of Q4 2025 combined.

Apr: 824 views / 356 reads. May: 991 views / 374 reads — the highest single-month view count since launch, surpassing March's previous record. Substack subscriber count grew from 110 to 247, a 125% increase, reflecting sustained audience compounding alongside Parts 6, 7 & 8 of the tutorial series.
