Our approach is to be free and sustainable by radically cutting down hosting costs. Most technical solutions are mentioned in the Github page. Apart from this honestly the product is well polished and easy to use. Check it out :-)

For every user you'd have to know all usernames which could be brute forced guessed or gathered with some sort of crawler. It's definitely a great point you bring up I think with web analytics an attacker has a natural advantage s

Well, I do have Dos protection so you'r traffic would get rejected at some point in time but it would make me unhappy because I'll have to fix up the data for demo or restore the backup for it. You'll have to do a little bett

Well, people that know me know that I am not arrogant but actually I'd like to counter (pun intended) that offer. My Co-Founder and me want to work one year full time on the project. Here is our mail: hey@counter.dev

Free version. Not sure the server would survive Hacker News without it.

Oh by the way, we are looking for a Co-Founder that we are convinced is able to grow counter. We really don't care how, chould be content marketing. We are here for the long term. Write a couple of sentences to hey@counter.dev

Yes, also before the HN peak it seemed that windows was not so common actually. Which kind of makes sense given the product.

That's interesting. Here in Berlin there is/was also a restaurant where you could pay what you want when you leave and it seemed to also work there. I can imagine important is to explicitly state that you do have costs and are exp

Ahh the request is only done for unique users - so if you already was there once he won't send another request again until you clear your browsing data (or just the sessionStorage)

I am doing this together with my regular job. At the very moment it does cost me about the same as the Netflix account I am paying for my parents. The plan to be profitable is by mass. There was a lot of time and thought spend on making thi

Thanks for writing. There was absolutely no activity done on that twitter account. In any case we swapped it to one that is actually active :-) https://twitter.com/NaiveTeamHQ

Yes, so although it is optimized to be very cheap to operate many users there still are costs. We hope to get that via donations or as it's communicated in the website "Pay what you want". One single advertising banner is als

Thanks! That is really cool to hear.
