Hacker News Reader

Oh wow, my blog post. Hi all! I was wondering why I had a huge surge of readership today. I'll be in the comments.

Thanks so much for this post and the other about provisioning. I'm going to try this exactly. Great suggestion about having caddy just use try_duration to minimize downtime.

Curious, how did you follow your readership? I thought bearblog didn't have analytics, but I guess you must be running something.

They actually do have analytics, but you need to subscribe (it's a small service, if you can, pay a few bucks to support good people!).

I can see a count of readers per day on each post. It also shows counts of devices, browsers, countries, and referrers. Here's what it looks like: https://herman.bearblog.dev/public-analytics/

Thanks!
