New website of the OpenIPC project
Add ?ref=<tag> to any openipc.org link the project publishes. The site counts
it once as ref:<tag> and then removes it from the address, so the tag shows up
in the analytics dashboard without splitting the page's own figures across a row
per source.
This exists because 39% of human page views arrive with no referrer at all -- Telegram and most apps send none -- so the channels the project controls are otherwise indistinguishable from someone typing the URL.
| where | tag |
|---|---|
| Telegram pins | ref=tg-en, ref=tg-ru, ref=tg-fpv |
OpenIPC/firmware and OpenIPC/wiki READMEs |
ref=readme |
| YouTube descriptions | ref=yt |
| the camera WebUI's link home | ref=webui |
Tags are lowercased and stripped to a-z0-9-, up to 24 characters. Anything
else is dropped rather than recorded, because the value lands in a dashboard as
a row name and arrives from wherever anyone chose to paste the link.
