How do I track download and adoption numbers for my Rust crates?
WebRun scores your crates.io adoption every Monday. It reads downloads per crate and per version, works out how much of last week's traffic went to the newest release, lists new dependent crates, files a dated scorecard on Trello, and sends you the headline on WhatsApp.
- You can see whether the newest release is being adopted or ignored
- Deprecation calls rest on real download counts
- New dependent crates surface before a breaking change ships

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Can it publish or yank a version?
No. WebRun only reads download counts and dependent listings on crates.io. It never publishes a release, yanks a version, or changes crate ownership, so your registry entries are untouched.
Why track downloads by version?
Because total downloads hide the answer you need. The per version split shows whether the release you just shipped is being picked up or whether everyone is still pinned to the old one.
What does it do with dependent crates?
It lists which crates depend on yours and flags any that are new since last week, so you know who a breaking change would affect before you plan a deprecation.
