Wow, the views counter... Haven't read the article yet, just astonished at the rate of increase...

  Do you know how the counter works ? I am a JS noob. I see at the bottom of script he's updating the counter, but who is calling the update ?

    Chrome devtools shows he's got a WebSocket open. In the Network tab you can filter on WebSockets, find the request, and there's a Frames tab showing all the frames (unfortunately does not update in realtime).

    It's a WordPress website that communicates with a Socket.IO server. I wrote about how to accomplish this here: http://socket.io/blog/introducing-socket-io-1-0/#integration http://socket.io/blog/introducing-socket-io-1-0/#integration It's true to the spirit of the post as well: the count gets rendered on the server, then reactive updates come in realtime and the view is updated.

      Love your work, but the yellow flashes did encourage me to scroll that counter above the fold before I started reading. I get distracted easily.
