My blog [1] has expanded commentary on the motivation:<p>> I thought that surely in 2021, somebody would have built a simple page view counter that I could just plug into my dinky blog for minimal cost. I ended up evaluating all the popular alternatives: Matamo, Plausible, and Cloudflare analytics.<p>> As it turns out, all of these are rather expensive. What should have been simple became bespoke and Toph was born. It’s a Cloudflare workers service that sits in between the visitors browser and Google Analytics.<p>I figured linking to the source code and README was more appropriate for Show HN.<p>[1]: <a href="https://zeroindexed.com/analytics" rel="nofollow">https://zeroindexed.com/analytics</a>
>Oh, and it’s called Toph because it is blind to the visitor’s personal information.<p>Toph knows everything about everyone in her general vicinity! You can't even lie to her! (unless, perhaps, you are the psychopathic daughter of the Firelord)
