@hermanschutte Ooh that's a really cool implementation Herman. Very nice indeed. Gives me more thoughts about how we could make this even better. Thanks for using it!
Out of interest, does linking to our site bother you? Would you prefer not to link? Would you pay not to? #intrigued
@fredrivett linking to your site doesn't bother me, but I think having a paid option of removing the link would be useful. Along with some other options like not showing when count is below X, and being able to set a message template as we have done. So that message can be hidden when count is below X.
Stopping people from removing the link could be tricky, but you could perhaps check the styles applied with js to make sure it's being shown.

@hermanschutte Great suggestions, thanks Herman. Super insightful.
That's the second time having an option when it goes below X threshold has come up. I totally understand that. Agree on more options around templating.
Right now this is just a small side project so we're not too fussed about people messing with the JS, but we'll gauge whether we think there's something more we could develop this into and go from there.
Any other thoughts at all be sure to let me know! 🙌
I've been looking for something like this for a week --- and BOOOM here it is

@samir_doshi Amazing! What do you want it for Sam? Why do you want to show real time stats?

I love the website, and the app is clearly epic. One piece of advice I would have is that you say Styled and Plain, but I cant obviously see what these would look like. Would be helpful if I could.

@b4dp4ck Good point Jai, thanks for the comment. The plain one is basically with no styles applied at all, just the elements, with styled being shown on the right of that section. We can definitely make this clearer though. Appreciate the feedback! 🙌
Cool product. But what does real time users mean? People who has opened the site in browser or the ones who are actively using the site?

@sajeev Hey Sajeev. So it's the unique number of people active on the site in the past 5 minutes.
This means that if you go to a site with the counter on, it'll log you and add 1 to the number. If you browse around, or refresh, it stays at 1. After 5 minutes of inactivity, we deem you inactive, and remove you from the count. It's the same premise as Google Analytics Real Time stats, as far as I'm aware.

I had a client ask me for this very thing. I was pretty puzzled. Now, I'm a hero. Thx @fredrivett!
