Describe your feature request
I want Replit to increase run counter when open website button is pressed.

What problem should this feature solve?
Users who use html/css/javascript can increase run counter easily.

I’m not sure I understand what you are talking about. Could you please elaborate?

After turning on explorer


You can view information about your Repl’s usage using the new Analytics feature, found at replit.com/@[your username].

There, you can find this and much more.

We can push webview button and run some repls (made of html/css/javascript, p5.js, etc). But, If we run repls with webview button, run counter doesn’t increase.

I think this will be really helpful! If we run websites for a large audience, we wouldn’t know what our site views are (unless we connect Google Analytics), so I feel this should be implemented.

what about the repl analytics page?

I believe the Repl analytics page already serves this purpose. The Repl I listed in my screenshots is a server with no website. So, all the data is from people remotely accessing the server and not from people clicking “run Repl”.

Well, opening the webview doesn’t really count as a “Run”. Because running is on Replit website, and webview is just viewing the page not in Replit. It could maybe be a toggle or something but I’m not that sure about it

Do you need to be Explorer for this feature? I don’t see it yet.

Yes it appears that you do. I thought I had explorer turned off, but I was wrong. If you turn on explorer, you can use this very helpful feature.
