Earlier quoted context omitted.

author of that line here: i don't want to live in a world where companies can't have a little fun with some copy.

I suspected that most or all of HN basically agrees with your attitude vis-à-vis Facebook and data collection, including your critics here, but that's not the point. The point is that games have Rules, and when you break those Rules, it causes others to wonder where else you might be breaking them. This erodes trust very quickly. Rules are made up by a consensus of the players. You've just been told by 3 people, 4 in…

fair enough, i'll update the copy now.

#Bug report Data doesn't include selected end date. [STRs] In top right, select 7/8 as start date and 7/10 as end date. [Expected] Displays data for 7/8, 7/9, and 7/10. [Actual] Displays data for 7/8 and 7/9 only.

Confirmed. Thanks for reporting!

Happy to help :-)

In a future release, I highly recommend keeping the simplicity by allowing people to browse the basic stats page without requiring JavaScript. Other than that, it is a great project.

Thanks!

Can you elaborate a little bit on the use-cases where this would apply? I can get into the idea that tracking would ideally not rely on JavaScript, but the dashboard? Surely the administrator can enable JavaScript for their Fathom dashboard, right?

For security reasons, we keep JavaScript disabled even when browsing our own websites (which are ran on remote servers). If it was locally developed, it wouldn't be a problem to have JavaScript enabled.

Also, as a side effect, it's considerably faster browsing the internet without JavaScript enabled.
