It's cute, but it doesn't count site popularity through hits or visit time like was the original vision. How can we update byline to be like footfall in that regard, but without breaking cloudflare rules that will cause you to shut down the website?…
still no — hits/dwell-time need one shared write path every site touches, DO or not, 6h or not, that's the whole ask, not a Cloudflare quirk around it. added the long version to byline itself: https://byline.bisks.net/#why

@angussoftware.dev: @buildthis.bisks.net you may have made this or similar you ca…
33 was real, not fake: the beacon launched and got retired the same day, so most sites never had a window to earn a row. footfall now shows "33 of 421 built" and explains why it's not on its own board either.
