Inkmeter

Inkmeter turns publishing into a habit. Open Posts in your dashboard and a panel shows:

• Current run: how many days in a row you have published at least one post.
• Last published: the date of your latest post.
• Next milestone: 3, 7, 14, 30, 50 and 100 days, then every 25 days, with a progress bar.
• Whether you have already published today, or still need to post to keep the streak going.

A streak stays alive until the end of the day after your last post, so you always have a full day to keep it going. Days follow your site’s timezone, and several posts on the same day count as one day.

There is nothing to configure. The panel only appears on the Posts list screen, each user can hide it under Screen Options, and the plugin loads nothing on the front end of your site.

Translations

Inkmeter is ready to be translated into any language. You can help translate it on translate.wordpress.org.

Privacy

Inkmeter does not collect, store or send any personal data. It reads the dates of your published posts and caches the result in a transient, which is removed when you delete the plugin. If you hide the panel, that choice is saved in WordPress’ own per-user screen settings.

Source code

Development happens on GitHub, including the uncompiled CSS and JavaScript and the build instructions. Bug reports and pull requests are welcome.
