There might be a very tiny chance that tinylytics will go down for a few minutes... have to do some maintenance on the server.

Another quick change to tinylytics: Email reports now show the correct previous 7 days worth of data, Monday start of the day, until Sunday at the end of day. It didn't do that before, and just went back 7 days, including the same day of the report.

Also added kudos stats ✌️ And clickable links.

First step of adding country code as emoji flags to tinylytics 😃

69 😋

Approaching 112k page hits across all sites on tinylytics 🤯

I jut deployed changes to Tinylytics. Namely Quicklinks for filtering data in your dashboard. If you want more data points, let me know. Enjoy ✌️❤️

Quicklinks for filtering in tinylytics? 👀

Nearly ready.

How about a tinylytics Webring? Would that be fun and cool? Would be opt-in of course.

Tinylytics is approaching a combined 100,000 page hits across 254 sites. It gathered just under 700 kudos across those and is tracking the uptime of 41 sites. It also crossed $140/month of revenue, which means it's sustainable for the long run.

So incredible ✌️ Thank you ❤️

Super deeply humbled by all you folks supporting tinylytics ✌️❤️

Just deployed the new date filter for tinylytics. Also works for Kudos now too. Still need to make some tweaks for smaller screen sizes and some other nice to have things – like showing the date you just filtered and quick options like "Today", "Last week" etc.

Considering I did a MVP date filter yesterday for tinylytics, I'm working on making it nicer, which will allow me to add more options too.

Alrighty, one tiny change to tinylytics uptime monitoring is that alert emails will come from a special email address so you can create a special rule in your email client (maybe so it plays a special sound or comes through as a VIP, or whatever). Email is "[email protected]".

I'll be sending out another Tinylytics newsletter this Friday. You can subscribe here, and if you want to read the first one, it's here.

I just added super basic stats date filtering to tinylytics if you're subscribed. Still needs work and will make it much nicer (just wanted to get something out there at least).

Uses native date controls, so no custom UI or library is used for this, which is super nice.

Tinylytics reached $110 monthly recurring revenue yesterday, one week after enabling "optional" subscriptions. I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY 🤯

You are ALL AMAZING ✌️❤️ It really means so much!

Woah, so sexy!

Working on date filtering for tinylytics today. Super easy with Rails scopes. The hard part is the UI 😅

If anyone is working on a Micro.blog app, theme and/or plugin, please let me know. I'm working on something "unofficial" over the next few weeks and want to... erm... preview something when it's ready.

Added a few minor things to tinylytics tonight to uptime monitoring:

  • If enabled, it will show "UP" or "DOWN" next to the uptime tab. Also shows up in the sites list.
  • Any downtime is now shown in a table with the error received, with easy to read times and durations.
  • Next up... 🤪

If you're using tinylytics with uptime monitoring, you can now also show your uptime on your site 😋 Here are the docs.

Working on more cool things for monitoring... possibly end of this week.

So super happy that the tinylytics uptime monitoring worked as expected just now.

Nice simple email! And a quick overview that stuff is down. I’d love to attach that, but CMS is saying “nope” from the phone 🤣

My plans for uptime monitoring on tinylytics:

  • Allow you to embed your uptime (that's already in, but you can guess how it works until next week 😋)
  • Add more details (obviously)
  • Add public status page, similar to the stats page
  • Allow more than 5 checks per account.

Taking this slow for now.

This morning I added basic uptime monitoring to tinylytics. It'll check your website every 10 minutes and will email you if something is wrong. More to do here, but happy. This will require a subscription ✌️

And yes, I'll work on embedding your uptime just like a hit counter or kudos soon 😋

Thank you to everyone that has subscribed to the paid tier for tinylytics! I couldn't be happier ✌️❤️ Your support means so much to me, you have no idea! Having my operating costs covered so far, is amazing. Thank you!!!

If you're thinking about it, it's at an early bird special until end of July.
