Serverless, free tier, no account
Every number your projects earn, in one place.
Count page views, pull install totals from six registries, log events, then do arithmetic across all of it and get a single number back as JSON or as a badge. One Cloudflare Worker and one D1 database. Nothing to run.
Live on this instance
Read straight from the deployment you are looking at. A figure that cannot be fetched says so rather than showing a zero.
Try it
Pick any name. It is created the first time it is counted, so there is nothing to register.
Count and read
Compute one number
Arithmetic over views, installs and events. Variables are
views.total, views.unique,
installs.total, installs.SOURCE and
events.CATEGORY. A missing input makes the whole
metric unavailable, never a zero.
+ in a URL decodes to a space, so write it as
%2B.
Three steps to wire it in
Tracking is fire and forget. Swallow the error and use a short timeout, so a counter that is down cannot break the page it is measuring.
Count the view
One POST. The project is created on first use.
Show the badge
Drop it in a README. &inc=true counts the view
as the image loads.
Read it back
JSON for one project, or up to 50 at once with
?names=a,b,c.
Names can be a hierarchy
A dot makes a name a path. acme.api.docs sits under
acme.api, which sits under acme. Nothing
about storage changes, so every flat name keeps working. Rollup is
opt in on every route that offers it.
Built for agents to install
Every deployment serves its own contract. Point an agent at
/llms.txt for the short version or
/openapi.yaml for all of it, and it has what it needs
with no plugin at all.
| Harness | File it reads |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | /plugin marketplace add Life-Experimentalist/ViewFlare |
| Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity | AGENTS.md |
| GitHub Copilot | .github/instructions/viewflare.instructions.md |
| Amazon Kiro | .kiro/steering/viewflare.md |
| Anything else with a fetch tool | /llms.txt |
The repo ships all of these under integrations/agents/,
each one a copy-in file that points at the same contract. Install
instructions are in the README.
What it counts
Views
Total and unique per project, plus a daily series. Unique counting is opt in, so an instance can run with no visitor tracking at all.
Installs
VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX, PyPI, npm, crates.io and GitHub releases, aggregated with the per-source breakdown kept. A cumulative count added to a rolling window is labelled as mixed, not passed off as one figure.
Events
Anything that is not a page view: a build, a CLI run, a failure. Category and name, with free-form metadata.
Computed metrics
Add, divide, take a percentage or a max across any of the above, and get one number as JSON, an SVG badge or a shields.io endpoint.
Built for the free tier
Unauthenticated reads are cached at the edge, the schema runs once per isolate, and five write routes are rate limited per IP.
Yours to host
Apache 2.0, one Worker and one D1 database. Deploy it to your own Cloudflare account and the counts are yours.
