Posts about whatever is on my mind at the time regarding my projects and perhaps some specific topics. Can be updates, release notes and others.

Just shipped the ability to see your Kudos stats in tinylytics. There's also extra navigation controls so you can quickly switch between stats and kudos – which allows for more cool things I'm working on 😋.

Also fixed an issue with public pages when not logged in... sorry about that!

Quick! Manton is traveling and I'm working on the Micro.blog iOS app. Anything you'd like me to look at that's a quick one to implement? 😋

Thank you everyone that is using tinylytics, and also to those who have signed up for the monthly ✌️ Passed 50,000 page hits across all sites, approaching 200 sites and passed 300 kudos interactions. Here's to the next 50k! ❤️

I've added the ability to show multiple kudos buttons on the same page using tinylytics. Documentation is here, so give it a try. Hope to have this available in a few themes soon too.

Features I am planning for tinylytics next week:

  • Multiple kudos on the same page, so you can have a list of posts with kudos buttons.
  • Uptime monitoring for paid plans (still working on details about that).
  • Better summary emails if you have multiple sites.

Thank you so incredibly much to everyone that signed up to tinylytics during the night (and for signing up for the monthly). It just crossed over 100 users, has over 170 sites and more than 45,000 page hits have been recorded to date.

You're all amazing ❤️

I spent a bit of time getting payments up and running on tinylytics before heading to bed. Happy it's all working now and set up (I think 😋). If anybody wants to support development, and lock in a "early bird" price, I won't stop you ✌️❤️

I've just added the ability to embed "kudos" to your pages using the tinylytics embed script. Head on over to the documentation to get started. There's an example at the bottom also.

If you're on Micro.blog, there will be native support in Tiny Theme and Jim's official plugin soon ✌️❤️

Beer number 2 on my desk, quite close to the laptop... will it spill? Working on adding kudos/likes to tinylytics (well... rewriting it anyway).

Woohoo, tinylytics crossed 40,000 combined page hits. Just shy of 100 users too 🥳 I’ll be working on it next week and move it forward. So exciting!

Asking for a friend, but how many of you use Gluon on the iOS 17 beta?

The first tinylytics newsletter just went out... so stressful and fun at the same time 🥳

Whoops! The Gluon beta expired for iOS! Will attempt to fix that when I’m back.

Heading out for a walk, clear my head, then working on the Micro.blog app and finish cross-posting logic. Might pick up a beer and have it danger close to my laptop 😋

Thanks everyone for smashing that Kudos button already 🤘🤪

Currently testing support for Kudos/Likes on a page by page basis, using tinylytics on my site. You can add your kudos to this one, or the one in the screenshot. Super simple right now... but works as I want. More to do.

Currently working on cross-posting options on the Micro.blog app. Because we're cool and hip! 😋

If you're on Micro.blog and want to add tinylytics using a plugin to your theme, there's a great one by @jimmitchell – check it out the details here and you can grab it on the plugins page here. Thank you Jim ✌️❤️

Tinylytics got approved with Paddle payments this week. Super happy! And funny enough, I was also on the phone with them today, and had a real nice chat about my sites. Such nice people. Going to be a nice relationship I hope.

tinylytics is approaching 30K combined page hits, with over 150 sites tracked. Just a reminder that there will be a newsletter soon, and you can sign up either on the website (on your account page), or directly here. Hope to send one out end of this week, and maybe do a monthly update.

Couldn't sleep, so some minor tweaks to tinylytics:

  • Recognise "www" subdomain, on top of the main URL – sometimes that happens where your site load on "www" and also on the root domain (Without "www").
  • Adds option to allow any domain to load your script (usually locked down to your main URL).

Bed.

tinylytics broke the combined 20,000 hits barrier today. So cool! Next week I'll work on:

  • Recognising "www" subdomain if not added
  • Whitelist other, alternate, domains for the one site
  • Likes/Kudos/Appreciation for posts

In order to get approved with my payment provider, I had to publish pricing for tinylytics. They're on the homepage, here. Let me know what you think. This is only my first pass. There will be extra perks for folks coming from OMG and MB (for the free plan = more hits).

Tweaked the homepage for tinylytics this morning. Let me know what you think. Still need to add stuff to it, but that's kinda what I'm going for.

Some tiny updates this evening to tinylytics:

  • Add the ability to hide detailed stats. It'll only show you the lifetime & 30 day data. Thank you @pratik for the inspiration.
  • Add signup form for the tinylytics update newsletter. Totally optional. Find it on your account page. Or sign up here.
