@nixCraft ayoo these counters are not that old!
Show threadCody Boone FergusonApr 5, 2024
@pyte @nixCraft I don’t know. I haven’t seen one in many years now. I guess it depends on what you consider old. I mean the first website was December 1990(?) and they already existed in the mid 1990s. So they are at least almost as old as the web itself.

Show threadCody Boone FergusonApr 5, 2024

@drohm @nixCraft they are counters for the number of people who have gone to the doctor for possible amnesia!

Okay that’s not true. They were the counters for how many people visited the web page.

Show threadMissTakenLeeApr 4, 2024
@JoshBoo @nixCraft They're examples of number styles you can use for a site visitor counter you could embed on your website, so you could impress people with how many visits your site had received. You could manipulate some of the code to bump the numbers.

@nixCraft When building my current author site, I wanted some means to track how many visits I got and stumbled across https://hits.sh/ which can produce some very nice graphs for traffic.

So, I customized my website to include a hit counter for the website itself and one for each page/grouping of pages, then made a little HTML file to display the graphs side by side, in frames.

My website ( https://owentyme.us/ ) is all static HTML built with bash scripts, using no Javascript.
