i.e. "upload with phone, get the file on computer"
I just tried hackmd.io and even if it's cool, it wouldn't be usable for me on everyday use because it's not responsive enough: write some text, wait 0.5sec to see it in the preview, write some text, wait 0.5sec to see it in the preview, etc.
Also it's not "LPWP" enough for me (i.e. the first page that you visit on the website is the page where things actually happen, that means that there is no welcome page or login page). See https://github.com/josephernest/writing#why-another-markdown...
HTML export would be cool, I agree.
The shortcut "CTRL+D" will toggle to preview only (not exactly a quick way to view HTML but at least you see preview only), code only or preview+code view.
#LINEAR ALGEBRA
##1. Introduction
**Definition :** A matrix is ... a matrix.
Examples:
$$A = \begin{pmatrix}0&1&-2&3\\5&-3&1&-2\\5&-2&-1&1 \end{pmatrix},\
B = \begin{pmatrix}0&8&-5\\0&0&0\\-1&-9&4\\2&19&-8\\1&1&1\end{pmatrix}$$
(paste it without the 4-spaces indentation)> You mention code-signing above, but are you certain it's being done with a root certificate that the AVs trust?
How to do that? What certificate do you usually use / which signing software?
But for a visitor of your github like me, even if I do a lot of Python, it's hard to understand quickly what it's about.
As I don't have 10 minutes to spend for each ShowHN, a video would be great to understand what it's about :)
Please give us a mean to understand in 10 seconds what it's about, by adding a screenshot or an animated screenshot (http://www.cockos.com/licecap is cool for this) :)
If you have time to share on Github a ready-to-use GA API -> HTML renderer (just the numbers would be enough, I'll be able to do the chart rendering), it would be awesome, I'll probably use it too!

About the JavaScript part: yes it would be totally possible to add a JS tracker to TinyAnalytics (I'm currently thinking about adding one at the moment). You're right it would be interesting to add this.
The main reason for which I did TinyAnalytics is to have a simple super quick dashboard, in which you see all your websites in a blink, without any click.
15 or 30 seconds per day, instead of several minutes + twenty clicks in a row on UI elements (too annoying for me).

Yes, as I mentioned on README.md, it's cool for small or middle-sized websites, but not for more advanced use cases.
But then, if you use OWA or Piwik, be prepared with bugs, slow UI with the default settings (I tried several times, with different servers), etc.
* click on "Websites" (top left of http://gget.it/5e8tyn6g/2.jpg)
* choose the right website in the list (http://gget.it/8jptjvso/3.jpg)
* wait that the page reloads
This, ten times in a row, which is annoying (once per website I manage).
Conclusion: more time spent on clicking twenty times on UI elements than actually looking at the charts.
I like to go super fast, now I open http://mywebsite.com/tinyanalytics/, and I have an immediate overview of all the websites in 10 seconds.
After years, I've noticed that I prefer to have few (important) informations about my websites, that I can consult each day in 30 seconds, rather than lots of informations for which I would need 15 or 30 minutes per day for an in-depth analysis.
(When it took me 15 minutes per day, I finally watched the analytics only once every 2 weeks or so).
Own-log because it just worked easily, and doesn't require a configuration to match the server's log policies (logs layout can vary from one config to another). Note: The logs are digested each day, so they will never grow to a super big file.
Most other analytics solutions (Piwik, OWA) also do their own logging.
Someone can be very very very proud of crashing my super-low-end 6€/year sandbox VPS with 256 MB of RAM... Waw, he's probably a very good hacker :)
But yes, I'm open to contribution about antispam / flood control. Constructive additions appreciated :)
At least it was well received on https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/5bsjle/talktalktalk...
