LastIP
An easy way to see your most recent visitors, without Apache/Nginx log access
I wasn't interested in a large analytics program just to see some recent visits. I also didn't want to get involved with the servers log file as it can be a little tedious to deal with, especially when you have to get rid of duplicate visits.
LastIP is a simple program that logs x number of recent visitors to a json file for quick and easy viewing. If you just want basic data or to just watch visits as they come in, include this script at the bottom of you page after the </html> tag. If I have time I would like to combine Tailjs with LastIP so I can see visitors live as they come in. That would look beautiful on a high traffic website! If you are looking for a project, feel free to fork each and contact me so I can check it out. Download LastIP on github.
