<p>Looks like a decline. The interesting fact is that the only metric doing really good is "total users" (at $+550$ in $48$ days, this is $11$-$12$ new accounts per day). This means that there is an interest for the site "out there", but those interested are passively waiting to get knowledge by "other peoples' questions and answers"... But sometimes <em>everybody</em> is "other people", as indicated by the decline of the "Q per day" metric, which in turns makes the site poor and leads to lower visits by the (increasing number of) total users. Also, one could conjecture that the interested users do not feel knowledgeable or confident enough to <em>answer</em> questions, as indicated by the falling "% answered" and "answer ratio" metrics (which sounds a reasonable conjecture given that the field is essentially nascent).  </p>

<p>Feels a bit sad.</p>
