Add a visitor count on your GitHub profile with one line of Markdown

In a previous article, I wrote about how you could add a visitor counter to your GitHub profile with a little node/express app. The article suggested that if you wanted to add a counter to your GitHub profile, you could copy and run the code on your own server. I've recently updated this operation to be a lot easier.

You can now add a counter to your GitHub profile with the following line of Markdown

![Visitor Count](https://profile-counter.glitch.me/{YOUR USER}/count.svg)

I'd love to know what you think!

I created this GitHub Action that uses GitHub API. It updates daily and does not require any servers or databases. It automatically saves changes into the repository. Go to the template GitHub Insights Template
