Showing project views on your home page
Don't you find it annoying that you have to go on to your project to see how many views it has. I am suggesting that on the person's homepage (like the number of comments) there should be a number of views display, so people can easily tell which of their projects people like the most so they can pay more attention to mking sequels or updates.

Re: Showing project views on your home page
Well, I personally find the "comments" indicator to be far more useful in that respect than the view count. For example, take a look at the top viewed project ever: University Escape. It has only 233 love-its as of now, which is, needless to say, a rather small number compared to its 93.5K views. So, I don't think a view count being displayed on the project thumbnail would be particularly helpful, though I imagine that a display of the love-its a project has received could spruce things up nicely.

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.
