Neocities.org
So the native Neocities hitcounter will no longer work. I had to use a third party connection in order to access the data, which was a product of the browser not allowing a direct connection. It was always a point of failure, and I didn't anticipate it lasting forever. As of this month, it shut down.

I did try to create my own and had something replicating the data using PHP on my other hosting company, but when I tried to link to it, Neocities forces all HTTP links/embeds/calls into HTTPS. I see why, but I don't have any of my other domains running under certificates. I suppose I could try to see how much that costs, but it would only be to get this small thing to work, so I will see what I can do.

Oh no! I really appreciated the Native Neocities hit counter. Hopefully you can find a new solution.
Hi Dann, your native counter tutorial was very helpful. I knew the API had the data but never knew how to implement it without knowing a lick of code. I get that it relies on cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com as a proxy. Starting in February it broke and have to auth on their demo site, but it seems to work for 24 hours only. Can you recommend a native fix for this? https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere/issues/301

I figured at some point that this would happen. Ill see if there is an alternate method. The cross browser security is a huge barrier however

Thank you so much. I'm glad there was a TimeSquare 'neighborhood' since I was in TimeSquare/Alley on the original Geocities back in '97.

Hey your site is super cool! B-) (that was supposed to be sunglasses but oh well)
Thank you for writing these scripts and sharing them! They're much more reliable than the squirrely third-party hit counter I've been using.
