I’d like to implement a “xxx total views” widget on my articles. Does anyone have a quick solution for such feature ?
Additional info : I don’t want to generate the JSON on the server since I’m using S3, and I’d rather use some external service to do that (to avoid counting bots and so on).
This isn’t a Hugo question, as it will have to be an external resource, like some analytics or tracking widget. At that point it is just adding whatever JavaScript to a template.
On the other hand, please don’t do that. It is a silly thing, more vanity than social proof, and serves no purpose except to impress gullible humans. Don’t be a gullible human.
I ended up coding something (more complicated than needed) using Firebase.
I always wanted to publish a documentation about it, but … you know… lack of time.
If you guys are still looking, I’ll try to find my code, and publish it somewhere.
Hi @tanzaho, could you share your current solution?
I am thinking of using hugo data to consume google analytics pageviews metrics, but the setup is quite clumsy and there is a ~2 sec latency in showing it.
I wonder if there are better solution, thanks.
