Enabled Tinylytics on the Blog
RantsFirst things first, I am not a big fan of being tracked. I have such a huge disdain in unnecessary tracking, so much so that I actively try to de-google.
So why did I enable analytics? Well, you see, I want visitors to have a way to give a "thumbs-up" of sorts. I want to be able to receive compliments without forcing people to leave a comment. Sometimes you just want to say something is good without explaining why. Yes, it's just for boosting my ego. No, I am not obsessed with it, yet.
I only wanted to implement Kudos(Tinylytics' way of saying "Thumbs-up" or "Likes"). So I already disabled hit collection. Which means your page views won't be logged.
By the way, I moved my Bio page deployment from GitHub Pages to Vercel today as well. The reason behind this is simply because I want to deploy from a private repository. Honestly, I change my pages often, and most of the time is because I made some silly mistakes or typo. It's embarrassing, so I want to hide them from the world. The solution? Deploy from a different service!
OK, that's the main reason I switched to Vercel. The by-product of this initiative? I can serve secure headers in my base domain without using Cloudflare, including CSP! It's not a big deal because it's a static site, but hey, I am a security enthusiast, won't make sense my bio page doesn't serve secure headers(which was the case with GitHub Pages).
