I did add some extra Nitpick settings to Scribbles last night — I'll write about them later this week. Plus I have one feature I am still working on, but it's there already — just needs some polish. You'll know what it is when you spot the setting 😋

I'll be upgrading the Tinylytics server today and you should expect 10 minutes downtime.
"Late last week, thanks to Sticker Spotter, I worked on general improvements on handling posts with just images.
...
Next up I finally enabled a hidden option that allows you to show an image preview on your post list..."

Don't want to say too much yet, but I am planning a monthly automatic archive, downloadable as CSV, for statistics in Tinylytics for paid plans. That means you'll always have that raw data available, and you can do what you need with it. Especially if you subscribe and then cancel. Data is yours!
This morning I also added initial support for Shoutouts.lol to Scribbles. It works pretty great with just the default embed and I added my own opinionated styles — but you can override that of course. Still a bit more to do here. Find it under "Statuslog & Shoutouts" in your blog settings.
A few weeks ago I rewrote the whole routing logic for blogs on Scribbles. Super proud of what I did and even redirects if you landed on an old Scribbles based URL... but I never wrote about it. Long story short... really happy with the way that works now. So good.
Added support for status.lol to Scribbles. Just head on over to your blog settings and add your "address" in the "status.lol & shoutouts" section. Shoutouts will come next week I reckon. Both will show in the footer.
Over the past week, I got a few requests about better handling image metadata, especially preserving colour space and the profile, so those images really pop and look great... and as intended.

"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."

It's time ✌️❤️
"During the weekend I added the ability to surface unique hit data, or as some call it, unique sessions."

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