Show HN: Insert a page view counter in your README

Request response event loop?

It is a dynamic image generator written in PHP that increments the counter it renders. It runs on a PHP web server. Its not serverless.

.php files were the original "lambda"s.

For true serverless, turn off your PC, laptop and phone and go for a walk in nature.

this is not a visitor tracker, just a hit counter (page view). I did start writing a parser for the server logs to have a more robust statistics for my website, but there are plenty of good options out there, awstats for instance. this is not it.

the person spamming the counter war trying to corrupt the counter.txt file and reset the counter.
