This post makes me wonder: What would it take to get the front-end projects to do an n-daily agreed upon format custom_json post on the chain with view count data?
Or alternatively, for one of them to provide a counter png that the others also use?
Feels it should be perfectly doable to have cross-front-end view-counting, either delayed or real-time, if one of these two options could be agreed upon.
I see no reason why it can't be done. I think it's just a matter of priority, for some reason we collectively did not prioritise views. Steemit.com used to have a view counter pre-split, but even they seem to have disabled it since (to hide their own embarrassing decline in traffic?).
