Hi! I see you've found my little hit tracker website.

If you know me you'll know I'm anti tracking, so that's why I built my own. What does it track tho? You can see all of the code here:

var  = {
    full: window.location.href,
    domain: window.location.hostname,
    path: window.location.pathname,
    who: navigator.userAgent,
    when: Date.now(),
    from: document.referrer
}
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = "https://jupiter.patmurray.co/!?a=" + btoa(JSON.stringify(data));
        

It logs:

• The current URL (and breaks down the domain and the path name, I could do this a more efficient way, but this is easiest)
• The useragent (This is so I get an idea of what most people are viewing the page on, helps with knowing what web features I can safely use)
• The referrer (if there is one, it's the domain name of the website you came from. Good to know if I'm being Fireballed or experiencing the Reddit Hug of Death)
• The current date, because obviously.

With all this, it creates a unique URL for an emtpy SVG image and adds that to the webpage. An Azure Function grabs that data and throws it in a database.

This seemed liked the best way to handle the data myself and only track the absolute minimum, meaning more privacy and fewer bytes of data than Google.
