I'm experimenting with a roadmap for tinylytics using GitHub projects. Might be useful. I think it would be good to open this up and show where it's headed. Still very quiet and low in volume for now.

Another 40 minutes until the first email summaries send out for anyone that enabled them in tinylytics. Hope it works 😅

Some quick updates to tinylytics today:

• You can now enable email reports, coming 9AM UTC every Monday, for your past 7 days. One email per site. Head on over to "edit".
• Added extra info labels when creating/editing site.
• Fixed a bug that replaced your public page when you saved the site. Whoops!

I've added super basic documentation to tinylytics. More to add as I go.

10,001 🥳 I missed it by one. Woohoo.

New tinylytics milestone today. Just approaching 10,000 tracked hits across all sites. And the homepage was viewed 1,000 times. Tracking over 100 websites.

This really has exceeded any of my expectations.

I’ll be putting in more work within the next few weeks ✌️❤️

If you're already using tinylytics, I've added the ability to make your stat pages public. Just click on the lock icon on your site, then click on the "Public" text to navigate to it.

It'll create a unique code. When you disable it, that code is also deleted.

Here is tinylytics'!

We just shipped a new TestFlight version for the Micro.blog app. Notable changes:

• Improves caching of user profiles and should update more reliably
• Correctly handle upload locations when changing sites in "Uploads"
• Dynamic type change should now trigger a timeline reload on all screens
• and more...

tinylytics is now tracking 100 sites 🤯😘 Super cool. Good end of a long day!

My preliminary plan for a paid tier for tinylytics is as following:

• 100,000 page hits/events per month
• 12 month data retention
• add "kudos" to articles (like adding a high five/clap)
• track events, like clicking specific links
• digest emails

$5/month and going up slightly per 100 subscribers.

I'm thinking of the following as the free tier for tinylytics:

• 1,000 page hits/API calls/per month, across all sites
• 90 days (3 months) data retention
• Unlimited sites

I'm working on "perks" for extra free usage (more hits & calls), for select third party services.

👀 Don't wanna say too much yet (as there is some discussion about this), but omg.lol domain names (including weblog.lol ones) will be exempt from counting towards page hits when I figure out pricing for tinylytics. Of course there will be a free tier also ✌️

Approaching 100 tracked sites on Tinylytics... I mean this is just mind blowing 🤯

Alrighty, thanks again so very much for the past 24 hours to everyone registering for Tinylytics! I'm buzzing ❤️

Tomorrow I'll work on some simple documentation. Then I'll take a small break for a few days (will fix bugs).

Send me your feedback if things look wrong. Still much to do.

And talking about that hit counter, you can style it as you want! Tinylytics will only bring back your number. So you can make it all fancy.

Anyway, just a bit of fun.

✌️❤️

I've been making a few changes to Tinylytics and a dedicated update blog and documentation is coming soon. However, just added something fun...

You can add: "?show_hits" to your embed code, and then anywhere on your site add an element with a class of "tinylytics_hits" and you'll get a hit counter!

Tinylytics is already tracking 54 sites, wow wow wow ✌️❤️ It's only been 24 hours 🥲

Wow, I am so very humbled by everyone signing up to tinylytics. You are all amazing ❤️

Today I teased my new project, tinylytics, an analytics tool for small websites.

It's open for registration and is super early in development. I'm going to write an intro post later this week, with a proper introduction.

Thank you all already, for the overwhelming support!

Come and join.

✌️❤️

My little analytics project is getting closer. Worked on it today and have the super basics in! Now to build the rest of the features.

Might just open it up for early "development" testing ✌️

More info during the week.

For my analytics project, I of course just copied the styling I did for shoutouts.lol. Don't want to re-invent anything just yet. Anyway, just basics right now.

Just posted about the operating costs of shoutouts.lol. If you're interested, check out the mini post.

I've switched payment provider for shoutouts.lol today. Details on the blog here.

Gluon gets a new homepage, in preparation of some changes coming your way. Oh and it also got a dedicated update blog!

Next up I introduced data export for shoutouts.lol and looking at changing payment provider.

Looking forward to WWDC (The Apple developer conference).
