Show HN: I made a public traffic counter so websites can share verified views
Hey HN,

v0 of a small experiment: a script that counts your page views (done so many times) but exposes them on a public URL so traffic becomes third‑party and linkable instead of “here’s a screenshot of my analytics”.

Adding trust & shareable

I’m curious if this is actually useful for you:

For blogs/directories/communities that sell “exposure”, would public verified views help you prove you send traffic?

For projects, would you use a simple public stats page in launch posts, open‑startup pages, or as a trust badge?

What must be on that page (just views, growth chart, referrers?), and what would stop you from adding it?

Would love blunt feedback on whether this solves a real problem and what would make you install it on your own site.
