Pushed a few minor tweaks to tinylytics today, including the ability to export your Kudos, just like hits. That was missing from the last time. Also added the ability to toggle the password visibility for when you set a public stats page password.

With some tweaks to the Tinylytics UI, I also added the new style account UI to shoutouts. In addition, I hide the billing link in the header if you're subscribed already, just to keep it tidy.

Fixed a few billing related issues on tinylytics today. Namely, when you cancel your subscription before deleting the account, it would delete the account and cancel the subscription, but will throw an error. No more. Also, if you subscribed in the past, but deleted your account, and then you come back, it would get confused when trying to charge you again on the new account. No more.

Today I shipped a small feature for the tinylytics paid plan, where you can filter your data by a given path! Just select the path in the list and it'll set it as the filter. Also works combined with dates including kudos and export.

This will lead to something new next week also.

Enjoy ✌️❤️

Happy weekend everyone ❤️ Thank you all for following my stuff. Tinylytics hit 500k combined page hits a week ago, and today we're just shy of 550k, and added nearly 30 sites since then 🤯

Made a small visual tweak to the site list on tinylytics. Whilst the table view looked nice, I wanted it to look a little bit more elegant — and also be nice when viewing on a small screen. Let me know what you think.

After:

Just added some extra email alerts if you've set up site monitoring on tinylytics. Now it'll let you know if you SSL cert is invalid (and then valid if it was invalid). This is in addition to the expiry emails you'll get.

Happened to me today, so I thought I'll add them ✌️

Some Scribbles UI bits today, mainly around displaying empty states for drafts and public posts. I like the chaotic background for drafts 😋🤷‍♂️

Spent some time on Scribbles yesterday. My main pain point was battling with CORS issues with Backblaze B2. Because I need to directly upload image from the editor. Their CLI never worked, nor did any settings in their admin panel. So now using AWS S3, with B2 as the backup/mirror location. Bliss.

Flew past 500,000 combined page hits, across 432 sites, on tinylytics today 🥳🤯
