really love the plugin but the tracking pixel is completely unneccessary - not even sure what use that data would be to you - please remove or at least be transparent that your collecting data -

const trackingPixel = document.createElement("img");
trackingPixel.setAttribute("src", "https://bit.ly/habitttracker21-140");
el.parentElement.appendChild(trackingPixel);
new HabitTracker(src, el, ctx, this.app);

I realize I only mentioned it in the release notes but not in the readme, so I will update that, my bad. Thanks for pointing it out.

As to why:

I added it to track if people are actually using the tracker. There's not much point in investing time into something that people don't use. And yes, I see the number of downloads, but how many are on the latest version? If I see nobody updates it means they download it, try it, hate it and move on. This data shows me that I have roughly 100 active users/day, which is not too bad 😊

Does that sound reasonable?

This is what I see.

Good day. Is it possible to add duplication of the column names at the end of the tracker, otherwise it is very inconvenient in the mobile version?
