better-view-counter generates a view count badge for your repository's README. It supports a custom label and unique views only. To use it, first download the latest release. And then embed the svg like this: 
When assessing other view conuters, we found they were capped at a limited number of requests per hour before the badge returned an error. This is not ideal for high-traffic repositories. Through Fiber, better-view-counter can handle about 30-40k requests per second with no cap on a 1 core vps. Memory usage also stays under 25mb during benchmarks.
To build,
- Clone project, cd into directory
go build- Result will be
./viewcounter
On a 1 core VPS:
./bombardier -c 750 -n 1000000 http://127.0.0.1:3000/badge/demo/demo
