## What it is
u8views is a web service (with its open-source Go backend in this repo) that tracks GitHub profile views and displays them as an SVG badge showing daily, weekly, monthly, and total counts. Users log in with GitHub, add a badge to their profile README, and get view statistics and referral registration analytics.

## Use cases
- track views on my github profile
- add a profile view counter badge to my github readme
- show monthly view statistics on my github profile
- analyze github profile performance over time
- self-host a github profile views tracker
- see how many people visited my github page

## When to choose
- you want a free GitHub profile views counter with an embeddable SVG badge
- you want day/week/month/total view statistics for your GitHub profile
- you want to self-host a view tracking service for GitHub profiles

## When to avoid
- you need repository-level (not profile-level) traffic analytics
- you need privacy-focused tracking without a third-party service
- you need analytics for websites rather than GitHub profiles

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: analytics, http-server, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, analytics, social-media, web-development
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: github-profile-views, view-counter, badge, svg-badge, profile-statistics, postgres, web-server, docker
