The earth tilt is slowing right down. Almost at a standstill as we approaching the solstice. Only 48 seconds difference today. It’s over 5 minutes for most of the year here in Southern Finland.

Two new things on @airview.so today! • Anyone can now trial the Follower database feature. This is not free like the stats and posting but you can try it fully for 7 days first. • There's a new period selector for your stats: 7, 14 and 30 days. 90 days and "all time" for paying users. Live now 🙌

I added post images and link previews to @airview.so, so you can see full posts in the app now. I'm adding lots of small improvements gradually to the platform. New stats, new charts and new features every week 🙌

I love APIs (and I get to work with them every day). I made this tiny API in @ilo.so that lets you query any of your internet stats from a simple URL. Super useful for showing a counter anywhere online, or to grab your stats in an external platform. And ridiculously simple to use. APIs ftw 🙌

Very little effort required to build an audience here. Maybe I've been lucky being in with some Starter Packs. My content definitely doesn't deserve this 😅 Hello to all new followers 👋
