This just looks dope! Just you and your content.

One little tidbit with Scribbles is that you can see the markdown text if you add .md at the end of the URL. Still not perfect (some oddities to work out). Example here.

"Updated" the update blog for Gluon today. Now runs on Scribbles. So much that I still need to do.

Made a few tweaks to tinylytics today, namely around performance of the list view when you have loads of sites with many hits. I'm monitoring how that looks in practice (so let me know).

Also, when you change your timezone, it'll attempt to set the next site report send time accordingly.

Installing Ruby 3.2.2 to the Tinylytics server and running some upgrades. Might affect uptime for a few minutes.

Tinylytics is gonna smash through 1 million combined page hits soon... and I'm gonna miss it as I have to go now haha. WOOOOOO!

Most likely will hit 1 MILLION page hits across all sites on tinylytics this week. Just want to say a HUGE thank you to all that use it ✌️❤️ You're all fantastic!

Had to make changes to shoutouts today that doesn't let you use the account until you have confirmed your email. In the past it gave you 5 days to confirm before logging you out. So many sign ups the past few days but no confirmations.

I'll also automatically delete accounts, with zero notice, that don't have any shoutouts or themes, and are not confirmed. Best way to handle those accounts and keep the database clean.

If anyone is using tinylytics and you wrote some nice words, or bad, please let me know. I'd love to add some testimonials to the homepage at some stage. I know it's still early days, but would love to hear from you: [email protected].

If you're on the edge of subscribing to shoutouts, I have some good news, and it's running until the end of the month, you can get 40% off on the yearly (usually $20) using OMGWHATAREYOUDOING. Use it, share it, print it on T-Shirts 😋

It'll help keep the lights on if you're able ✌️❤️
