Introduction
Over the past week I have been working on further maturing the Hivelytics 2.0 and added Top Voter Concentration chart and numbers to further improve the view of where your author rewards are coming from and their concentration and trends.
I have also added some new data and charts to my Compare Authors tool as well as created a new entry page to make the tools easier to find and even added a work bench style Tool Switcher where you can use all three tools without leaving the page you are on.
Hivelytics 2.0 Updates
Updates to Hivelytics 2.0 or an open source Hive Stats included adding Gini-style concentration numbers, Top Voter Concentration numbers, Trend indicator as well as a Top Voter Concentration Trend chart:
Here you see my numbers and you can see that overall trend is improving decentralization meaning that the top voter share of rewards is decreasing which means the rewards are coming from more voters that are not concentrated as much in the top twenty voters by HP.

Updates to Compare Authors Tool
I have also made some updates and additions to my Compare Authors Tool. Most notably I have added a Cross-Author Overlap Analysis:
This shows how many voters you share with the authors you would like to compare yourself to, your shared topics with those authors as well as what are your shared windows for posting. Posting windows are in (UTC): Shared windows means authors publish in similar parts of the day.
Here is how these windows are defined:
Night: 00:00-05:59 | Morning: 06:00-11:59 | Afternoon: 12:00-17:59 | Evening: 18:00-23:59
I have also added a visualization for this data:
Mouse over the bright colored squares to see the details of the author comparison. There is also a Focus Mode where you click on the author in this case @tarazkp to visualize things even more clearly:
Hive Author Toolkit Launch Page
In order to better organize the Hive Author Tools, I have added a new Hive Author Toolkit Launch Page that provides user a clear choice of the three available tools: Author Report Card, Compare Authors Tool and Hive Stats - Hivelytics 2.0:
I have also built an new Tool Switcher, which is basically and advanced workflow where you can switch between all three tools without leaving a page.
This makes using the Hive Author Tools easier and brings everything in one place where you can research the authors on Hive and improve your own content strategy or compare yourself to the top Authors on Hive. I hope that curators can also use these tools to improve their curation.
A good point to start using these tools is visiting the Hive Author Toolkit Launch Page
I am a Hive Witness and would really appreciate your vote for me as a witness: https://vote.hive.uno/@seattlea
If you prefer your Hive Witnesses to never power down I am one of those Hive Witnesses. I believe that unless you are a top 20 witness and running more than just a Hive Witness node then you don't need to power down.
