I am a big fan of Plausible, a website analytics service that respects user privacy, and I use it on all of my websites. The best part is that it's free when self-hosted, which in my case means asking Wouter de Bruijn to host it for me. Last year, Plausible released a beta API, which got me excited about integrating it into my Discord bot and live stat counter for the Uwuifier website.

As a Deno enthusiast, I encountered a problem that I encounter all too often: no Plausible package for Deno existed. So, I wrote one myself. The Plausible API is simple, so I was able to cover it completely. With David Brands' assistance, I strictly and fully typed the project.

Ironically, I never got around to using the package myself. Nonetheless, I enjoyed working on it, creating the logo, publishing the package, and considering it "done." I would also like to give a shoutout to NPM for releasing the Plausible package name to me, as the previous owner had reserved it nine years prior and had not used it since then.
