nixie is a simple yet effective, self-hostable view counter for your cool websites, it was engineered to be ridiculously lightweight, highly concurrent, and privacy focused.

under the hood, it creates a fingerprint of each user by creating a hash of several things that constitute the connection's "identity", such as what kind of browser you have and your IP, we do not actually store any such information in a way that is reversible, and hashes are flushed hourly.

embedding it is pretty easy, it has a couple of really useful parameters you can use to customize it, and it's so lightweight to embed it's practically nothing. also it's just a cute little 88x31 button, so that's that.

nixie works using referrers, it can count per-page or the entire website based on what referrer policy you have set. nixie sets itself to referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade" by default.
