Looks like github new feature that you can create readme file to your profile has gone viral..

So it got me thinking if you can create views counter for that..

I made this super simple Yii2 Framework system that records views counts for your profile..

Check repo: https://github.com/arturssmirnovs/github-profile-views-counter

Code turned out to be very simple.. 5 columns in database:

id, profile, views, create_time, update_time.

Few lines of code that records views++ and then just simple svg image display without cache.

Simple and fun weekend project.

This is my first post. :)
