I just looked into it and I'm surprised that there seems to be a huge effect. See http://i.imgur.com/QGxzRau.png for our analytics data.

I see you conveniently forgot to label the y-axis. If you don't want to tell us the scale, could you at least mention what the unit is? Daily actives on GL.com?

Regardless, this is majorly exciting and this growth is a tremendous leap for the open source community.

I didn't forget that :) Anyway, here is a new one with all the axis shown, I guess it will not cause any problems.

This is GitLab.com (the SaaS) and about.gitlab.com (our static website) combined http://i.imgur.com/HzaqlAN.png

I don't think he forgot. I think that's just a cropped screenshot of a larger graph.
Thanks a ton! Am I really seeing a ~2x increase?
Yes, it's pretty crazy.
It doesn't mean anything without the Y axis.

It's very easy to double numbers when these numbers are minuscule to start with.
