## What it is
A free cloud micro-service that counts GitHub profile views and displays the count as a badge in your profile README via a Markdown image URL. The repository also contains the source for a self-hostable standalone version.

## Use cases
- show profile view count on my GitHub profile
- add a visitor counter badge to my profile README
- track how many people view my GitHub profile
- measure profile traffic after blogging or conference talks
- customize a profile views badge with colors and short label

## When to choose
- you want a free, zero-setup GitHub profile view counter
- you want a badge rendered via a simple Markdown image URL
- you want to gauge profile traffic from your development activity

## When to avoid
- you need accurate, tamper-proof analytics (counts can be faked)
- you need detailed visitor analytics beyond a total count
- you want to display inflated numbers (self-host instead of spamming the shared service)

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: analytics, http-server, image-processing
- domain: analytics, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted, cloud
- tags: github-profile, visitor-counter, badge, profile-readme, php, free-service, web-server
