User Interface Statistics Question

General Discussion
1

I was wondering if anyone might know the answer to a couple of questions about the statistical distribution of the use of user interface components in AppInventor.

Specifically,

  1. What is the statistical distribution of user interface components over all time? Which is the most common component, which is the least, rank order etc

  2. The same question as above but for components that are used more that once in an application?

Context: I am returning to a project I started last year writing a JS version of AppInventor that ran in NodeJS. This year I am making in run in a browser and want to create a UI so it is nicer>

It's a bit out of date, but I wrote this blog post back in 2019 on the usage of App Inventor components at the time:

That's really useful. I suspect the distributions wouldn't have changed too dramatically. Cheers.
