So cool to see some of these apps. Can you tell where the interest comes from?

I was perusing the Cloudron App Store, and just admiring the presence of some of these apps:
Weblate, Confluence, The Lounge, Taiga (Taiga! I mean, for real!), SOGo, Phabricator, OpenProject, Moodle, MediaWiki, Invoice Ninja 5, Gogs (or for that matter, Gitlab or Gitea), DokuWiki... I mean, over the years, I was wanting to run various apps that managed hosts like Webfaction (I started with them in 2008) didn't have available. This prompted my slow slog into self-hosting, self-installing, self-managing VPSes, lots of crash and burns, lots of learning about limits and how to work around or with them... some of these apps in the list were major victories for me to get installed and running. Some, I never did get installed and running on my own machines. I just think it's so cool that here they are, on Cloudron, ready for anyone to easily get up and running. I am grateful for all that I learned along the way, but what a treat for new people, of any age, to come across Cloudron and have all these apps at their fingertips!

I just want to say thanks!

For some of them, like Weblate, do you a way to see where traffic is coming from for them? Like, are there analytics indicating"Weblate searches are coming from companies, or universities, or research labs"? Do you have any targeted advertising for any of these apps on Cloudron, or has word-of-mouth in general been enough? Just curious, no need to spend any time looking it up.

I haven't checked recently but when we checked a couple of year ago, the basic analytics we had was not very useful in figuring this out. Given much of our crowd is fairly technical and privacy oriented, browsers+ad block addons strip the referrer header. This means we don't really know where they are coming from.
