This counter designed to be an analytical instrument for you, but not for people who are visiting your profile. It could be used to see profile views dynamics as result of development activity, blogging or taking part in a conference.
It counts how many times your GitHub profile has been viewed and displays them in your profile, for free.
Cloud solution launched as 100% free experience. You can help me cut server costs if you like this service.
If you want to see big numbers in your profile, deploy a standalone solution to draw any views count you want without spamming our server. Everybody knows that any counters could be faked.
A billion fake profile views doesn't make you a very popular person, it makes you a person with a billion number in the counter.
GitHub magic will happen as soon as you will create a new repository named equally to your username.
