Inspired by the work done by
@Andrew, I have published an open source chrome extension that improves all the pages in the Insights section of the Apify dashboard:
- Monetization: Customizable charts where you can select any date range and group the data by day, week, or month, with a breakdown by Actor
- Debugging: One chart per Actor, making it easier to spot problems, plus filters
- Acquisition: One row per Actor, plus filters
- Quality: One row per Actor, making it easier to find things to fix, plus filters
The code is available here, along with installation instructions. It has been vibe coded with minimal human review, so use it at your own risk:

The data takes a little while to load. It will probably take longer if you have a ton of Actors, but with around 100 Actors, the UX should still be good.
I believe Apify should take a look at this. There are many useful UX ideas it could apply. Some examples:
- Showing the current month's monetization when it's day 2 of the month is not really useful. We should show the last X days to have context.
- A success rate chart with an axis from 0 to 100 is not useful when you are trying to spot a drop from 99% to 97%.
- If you want creators to improve quality, you must give them a tool that makes it easy to find what needs fixing. Clicking through 100 Actors one by one is not practical.
