Do we have to worry that their Twitter account is currently suspended - "Twitter suspends accounts which violate the Twitter Rules"? https://twitter.com/DevCounter

I don’t know. I have several Twitter accounts that are suspended for rules violations and they’ve tweeted and followed people zero times, so I don’t think you can necessarily read too much into that.

Seen many of these on HN recently - decision paralysis

That's why with counter you can get started in like 10 seconds. And permanently delete your data via the GUI if you don't like it :-)

Have you considered applying to YC? Email hn@ycombinator.com if you'd like some tips or feedback with that. (Same offer goes for anybody! Just please realize that I can't always reply quickly and sometimes take embarrassingly forever.)

If you select just 23 Twitter users from a group, the probability will be >50% that at least two have had their accounts suspended or closed.

Can someone versed in open source licenses chime in in what it means to use this service since it is licensed under the AGPL? I'm not an expert but as I understand it AGPL can require your own code to come under AGPL as well?

It's an excellent project, I'll apply it for my site! by the way, is there any groups for communication?

The script from Counter is pretty special compare to others. It's a single fetch() call.

And for some reasons, I can't see the request being logged to the Network tab in Chrome. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? My site: https://devutils.app/

I see what you've done there...

I wish more of these analytics platform had events. I want to see if my users are using features, button etc.

Reminds me of the best analytics software I ever saw, ca. 1998, where it'd track each individual visitor's path through the site, e.g.

- [12:00 - 89.212.12.whatever] - /index.php

- [12:01 - 89.212.12.whatever] - /team/bob-smith/

- [12:02 - 89.212.12.whatever] - /products/turb-encab-9001/
