I created an unsophisticated workaround for the Neocities hit counter that uses a Python script to call your view count and spits out a HTML string for you to paste onto your site. It requires manually running the script and pasting output onto your site, so hopefully there's a more sophisticated fix soon! Code and number images are on my GitHub! https://github.com/kdkemp/downloads/tree/main/website-view-counter

super appreciated!
I have been thinking about this. I tried to do it in JavaScript from the client and now I understand why you do it in Python. Way to go KD.
Thought about this method too. You could use the api to create and upload a text file too, then use AJAX to pull the file contents into a div or something. Would just be so much easier if the file could be accessed by neocities pages natively, but alas.
