Mint stats

Mint is a website statistic ‘program’ that has got some blog hype recently. just by looking at it quickly it looks kind of interesting, right now the demo is disabled but a demo movie can be downloaded. I had look at the requirements for the product, quite high I must say.

In order to view Mint you should be using a modern browser with support for transparent PNGs, modern DOM scripting (including XMLHTTPRequest) with competency in CSS 2. Safari or Firefox, both free, are highly recommended. Internet Explorer PC support is planned but not an immediate priority. IE Mac will not be supported.

Quite interesting to see that there is no IE PC support. Too bad as about 80-90 percent of the world is using that browser.

On what basis do you adjudge that 80-90% of the world uses IE5. It’s probably more like 10%. IE6 is currently the most popular mass-market browser, but Mint is a product aimed at web professionals and smart amateurs. Within that grouping, I’d reckon the use of MSIE of any kind as the primary browser would be negligible.

Within 456 Berea Street, from which I followed the link to your site, MSIE only accounted for 36.2% of visitors back in Nov 2004. I’d guarantee it’s less than that now.

Firstly, thanks for your comment.

I wrote IE5 when I meant IE (all versions), sorry…

…but I still think that no support for IE/Win is bad. Yeah, you are correct when you are saying that this product is aminging at web developers which mostly uses better alternatives. But I still think that developing for a certain browser is not good. It is just like when people develop sites just for IE. That is not good either. Developing webstandard comliant sites is for all browsers not just one.

I know that support for IE is planned. Also, I write mostly about web developing and such. I still have about 25-30% of IE (less than 2% is IE5.5 and IE5) users on my site, hopefully this will decrease in the future.

I kind of agree with you. It’s an application; Inman does what he wants with it, but I can’t believe it would be that hard to get Mint working in IE 6.

I have some friends that use mint and they are very happy with it.

Now about IE, I still don’t see any problem with them not supporting IE. Any webdesigner/master would not only have Firefox, IE, and Opera. And if they don’t - they must still be making their websites with FrontPage or Yahoo’s site builder… o.O If webmaster paid $30 bucks for this don’t you think they would use/download one of the supported FREE browsers to check their stats?

You said it your self, “Developing webstandard comliant sites” Mint has done that. “w3.org” - IE/MS havent, the are behind and don’t meet the current standards or care to. because they are M$ an they think they are the standard and with being the standard you can do things like re-naming RSS “web feeds” or even Podcasting to something that lasted only about 20 seconds to which I can’t even remember what they were changing it to. Because the www Community don’t look to them the as the standard anymore.
