Under Consideration

[cyrildewit]

Note for myself: communicate more clear when to consider installing this package and when not.
I think I already describe somewhere that if you only need a simple counter, I wouldn't advise it. It's missing solutions for scaling as well.

I started to feel like I am misleading people by still keeping this work up and not archiving the project. I am not planning to do, because back when I developed this package I was completely new to the world of programming. I learned a lot by seeing how others solved problems in a way. I therefore hope that other people can learn from my work as well. This package is one of the many possible solutiosn as well for the "views" problem space. It's therefore not about wheter it's good or wrong, but rather about the trade-offs.
