Adding Profile Counter to the Tools section, alphabetically near the other visitor counter entries (Visitor Badge, Visitor Count).
What it is
Profile Counter is a self-hosted GitHub profile views counter — a drop-in replacement for komarev.com/ghpvc that you deploy to your own Vercel + Upstash Redis (both free tier).
Why it might fit this list
The Tools section already lists 3 visitor counter services (Visitor Badge, 1990s style, Visitor Count) — all of them third-party hosted. Every few months one of them goes down and users lose their count. profile-counter solves the same problem but self-hosted — the user owns the URL (on their own domain) and the data (their own Redis), and ships with a migration script to preserve their old count from komarev/laobi when those break.
It's ~300 lines of vanilla JavaScript with a Deploy with Vercel button for one-click setup.
Format follows the convention from CONTRIBUTING.md (
[Name](link) - Description, capital name, no trailing whitespace).Thanks for maintaining this list! 🙏
