"Saying that, I covered in my last post about pricing that I will be introducing a discounted yearly closer to launch. That time is today."

β€” An update on pricing and introducing a yearly on the Scribbles Update Blog

It's time ✌️❀️

"During the weekend I added the ability to surface unique hit data, or as some call it, unique sessions."

β€” Unique hits data on the Tinylytics Update Blog

And to say it again... I finally added unique session/hits data to the dashboard 😋

Still experimental, but if you have unique hits enabled in Tinylytics, it will now surface this data next to the main hit counter. More to do here of course, but a good first step. This also works across date and path filters.

A site hit counter, showing 1810 hits with 975 unique hits next to it.

Scribbles Explore is now available for anyone, no matter if you have an account or not. This was by design at the start, just so I could gauge how it will look like. Have a look and see what people are writing about πŸ˜€

This is how I designed the last database table, and some logic, for the domain feature for Scribbles 😬

A scribble of a domains database table showing different properties that need to be added with some minor logic on what happens after it is created or destroyed.
"One manual step I was doing for a while now is set up domains for a Scribble blog.

...

Until today (well, yesterday)."

β€” Domain management on the Scribbles Update Blog

The one thing I totally underestimated with Scribbles is the amount of support I've been getting on various bits, although it's getting less as I've been building. Perhaps I make it an invite only product, so I can stop sign ups if things get too much 🤔 No need to take on the world.

Just a minor PSA that I'm rewriting the domains logic for linking up hostnames with your blogs on Scribbles. It allows for self service, and an interactive easy flow to get you all set up. But now I need to "resolve" the way I tie it up with your blog a little different. Stuff might break πŸ˜…πŸ˜¬

Thank you so incredibly much to everyone that believes in my work and signed up for a Lifetime Account on Scribbles. It really means so much to me ✌️❀️

The funds gave the project legs, and is sustainable for the immediate future!

Just sent out another 20 Scribbles invites ✌️❀️
