Week 35: 🐐 Goat Counter
Never thought this would happen — I was at the gym 🏋️♂️ when I got a notification: my Cloudflare quota was maxed out… all because of the little PV counter I built earlier. 😅
Goat Counter
After a bit of thinking 🤔, I figured it’s smarter to use a SaaS instead of reinventing the wheel. That’s when I stumbled upon Goat Counter 🐐✨.
It offers:
- 📊 A clean, simple dashboard
- 📡 A beacon API (no cookies needed!)
- 🔌 APIs to display PVs directly on my site
And the best part? It’s unlimited & free, with the option to self-host if you want. 🚀
React Bits
This week, I also rewrote some blog card logic to make the build faster ⚡. Added some sleek UI components from React Bits and finally finished the archive page. 🎉
Microsoft Clipchamp
I used to rely on CapCut for video editing. Lately, they started charging for many features 💸, so I switched to Microsoft Clipchamp. After a few rebuilds, I must say — it’s solid and totally enough for my needs. 🎬✨
