statistics
statistics are numbers that show measurements of various IndieWeb things like sites, posts, usage of protocols like Webmention, deployments of projects and plugins.
Indie Map
Indie Map is a public IndieWeb social graph and dataset. It's a complete crawl of 2300 of the most active IndieWeb sites as of June 2017, sliced and diced and rolled up in multiple useful ways.
Indie Map was motivated by an earlier indie stats proposal by 
Ryan Barrett, with 
bear, and 
Ben Roberts on 2014-09-11. bear later started a GitHub Repo for Indie Stats an Indieweb site crawler and MF2 data collection tool.
