Dracula On CodePen And Open Startup
I've always admired this concept of "open startup" in which people gather all their private metrics and make them public. Dracula is not a startup, but I'm all about transparency with the community, so I decided to create this /open page to share all the numbers.
- GitHub API for repository stars
- Mailchimp API for newsletter subscribers
- Google Analytics API for website pageviews
- Twitter API for social followers
- Gumroad API for sales numbers
This was built with Next.js and I have a Redis instance on Upstash to cache the data. To avoid rate limits, I have a cron job configured on Mergent. As always, the code is open source.
