Is this version created or endorsed by the authors of the other Visitor.js implementation?

No. And the recently-posted paid visitor.js site does have a few advantages, most being that this is using pure javascript, while they have the server side doing most of the heavy lifting.

In that case, this implementation really should have a different name. It's confusing to have two competing implementations share the same name, and it may be a trademark violation.

i'm curious about the timing here.

did you see vistor.js hit HN and rewrite it in a few hours? or were you working on this in isolation and when you saw it on HN decided it was the perfect time to ship?
