Adding a way for people to reset their own badge about github-profile-views-counter HOT 11 CLOSED

@ent3r I will think about it. Thank you for the suggestion!

from github-profile-views-counter.

On this note, could it be possible (through OAuth2 or something else) to exclude yourself from the views count? I'm thinking something like "Do not increase the counter if I'm viewing the readme logged in as myself".

That's not possible. Github images are served through a proxy, and because of that have the same IP. It's impossible to filter out users

@ent3r is absolutely right. There is no way to determine visitor username, UA or IP address, so there is no way do not track yourself. We can't even track unique visits count. Because of this, this tool is as simple as possible.

@theS1LV3R To implement counter reset we need to add login feature. It's not that easy and will require to write a lot of the code.

But I have better alternative. I've worked hard and launched brand new service for GitHub users Ÿ HŸPE (open alpha). You can login using GitHub account, and it will generate link with invisible counter for your profile README file. Statistics will be collected to private dashboard. Right now it includes profile views and followers history (following + unfollowing) with daily breakdown. In next few months we will have repository traffic statistics without 14 days GitHub limitation.

Looks good!

I spend all my free time improving it. I think counters reset will appear in Ÿ HŸPE faster than here.

I just logged in, it looked good!

@theS1LV3R @fabiosangregorio @SudhanPlayz @brookmg I found a way how to implement counter reset without reimplementing all the GitHub authorization flow in this repository (what looks like an overkill for this project).

You can login to the Ÿ HŸPE and visit GHPVC reset page: https://yhype.me/ghpvc

from github-profile-views-counter.

is yhype opensource ?

from github-profile-views-counter.

@brookmg It uses GHPVC for profile views feature under the hood. All other parts of the service are proprietary.
At this moment there are no plans to make it free open source project. It's free but proprietary software. We plan to revise distribution model when v1 will be released (it's open beta now).
