Writing history

The writing history shows how much you have written over time. It is the detailed counterpart to the writing-goal widget on the Dashboard: instead of just today, you see a whole period with statistics, a per-day chart, and a breakdown by book and chapter.

What it does

The writing history is global: it covers all of your books at once, not a single book. It reads the per-day word counts that Bibliogon records whenever you save a chapter and presents them as:

  • summary statistics for the chosen period,
  • a per-day bar chart,
  • a per-book list that drills down into per-chapter totals,
  • a CSV export of the daily totals.

It is a full page in the app (its own screen), so you can bookmark it and use your browser's Back button to return.

How to use

  1. Open the Dashboard.
  2. In the writing-goal widget, click the History button.
  3. At the top of the page, pick the time window: Last 30 days, Last 90 days, or Last 365 days. All statistics and the chart update to match.
  4. Read the summary cards and the chart for the at-a-glance view.
  5. In the By book list, click a book row to expand its per-chapter breakdown. Click it again to collapse.
  6. To take the data elsewhere, click Export CSV.
  7. Use your browser's Back button (or the Back control on the page) to return to where you came from.

Statistics

The summary cards show, for the selected window:

  • Total words written.
  • Active days (days with net positive words written).
  • Avg per active day.
  • Current streak of consecutive active days.
  • Longest streak in the window.

Below the cards, a bar chart shows the words written per day. Hover a bar to see that day's exact value. If there is no writing in the window, a short "no writing history in this period yet" message appears instead of the chart.

By book and chapter

The By book list shows total words per book in the window, each with a small bar so you can compare books at a glance. Click a book to expand its per-chapter breakdown. Words whose chapter has since been deleted collect under Deleted chapters and stay attributed to the book.

CSV export

The Export CSV button downloads the daily history for the selected window as a CSV file. The file contains one row per day, so you can open it in a spreadsheet or feed it into your own analysis.

Where to find it

Open it from the History button on the writing-goal widget on the Dashboard. The page has its own address, so once it is open you can bookmark it for quick access later.

How the data is collected

Whenever you save a chapter, Bibliogon counts the change in word count and credits it to that book and chapter for the current day. Only net words written are counted, so deleting text reduces a day's total. The daily goal itself is per device and does not feed the history; the history is the same on any device that connects to your library.

Tips

  • Switch to the 365 days window before an Export CSV when you want a full-year record for your own tracking.
  • A run of low or empty days in the chart is normal during heavy editing or research, when you remove as much as you add.
  • The current and longest streaks here count active days (any net writing), which is broader than the daily-goal streak on the Dashboard (days that reached your goal).
