GitHub Profile Views Counter

Introduction

This counter designed to be an analytical instrument for you, but not for people who are visiting your profile. It could be used to see profile views dynamics as result of publishing new project, blog post or taking part on conference.

It counts how many times your GitHub profile has been viewed and displays them in your profile, for free.

Usage

Cloud solution launched as 100% free experience. You can help me cut server costs if you like this service.

If you want to see big numbers in your profile, deploy a standalone solution, and you will not need to write a bot and spam our server. Everybody knows that any counters could be faked.

A billion fake profile views doesn't make you a very popular person, it makes you a person with a billion number in the counter.

Create GitHub profile repository

GitHub magic will happen as soon as you will create a new repository named equally to your username.

FAQ

Isn't that a security breach?

GitHub passes all images URLs through their GitHub Camo proxy service. This means that only GitHub can track personal information, such as visitors User Agent or IP address. Third party cloud service stores only views timestamps and total count of views.

Are you making money on it?

No. Only spending them. You can become a sponsor if you want it to keep running & receive new features.
