Koko Analytics version 1.4.5 was just launched into orbit. 🚀

Expected landing on your sites is whenever you get a chance. Landing should be a safe and standard procedure. Carry on crew!

Got fed up with all the easy-to-detect comment spam on my WordPress site...

Don't want to run Akismet, but this here already stops 99% of comment spam in just a few lines of code:

New checkbox item when trying to log into WordPress.org. Okay...

Block ChatGPT from scraping your website by blocking its IP ranges (not asking via robots.txt).

Can confirm that it works. 🙂

You're not missing much if you already follow me here, but I just sent out a newsletter for Koko Analytics describing some of the recent changes and what's next on our roadmap.

@buttondown My favorite part of Buttondown has to be this page, where it credits all open-source software it relies on: https://buttondown.email/open-source

@buttondown Least favorite? That it's impossible to read the Buttondown website itself as soon as you have an account and are/were logged in. (cc @jmduke)

@jmduke @buttondown 🙌🎉 That'd make at least 1 person happy!

Also while I have you, but maybe you're aware of this already, while writing a new newsletter I can't seem to paste in any of the editing modes except for the Markdown editor. Can provide more details if you wish.

@jmduke @buttondown Firefox ESR, only two active browser extensions are uBlock Origin and Bitwarden.

@kev Must be your Mastodon friends 😉 I've seen loads of Buttondown love this last 24 hours. So much that it would normally annoy me, if I wouldn't love it myself.

My favorite parts: https://buttondown.email/open-source & https://buttondown.email/climate ❤️

Blog post in the makings. I keep re-running the numbers since they keep blowing my mind. 🤯
