Oops, looks like the author got too many load from the server and removed the badge from his Readme.md?

This is the commit which removed it: https://github.com/rushter/rushter/commit/00d0d552e262218dae...

I guess one shouldn't do this if your profile becomes popular enough...

I've removed it because it does not display relevant information anymore (someone fetches ten times a second via wget).

I also don't have plans to use it in the future. I wanted to demonstrate the concept.

Or just use something more performant than Python/Flask - if the author was using the library he linked to [0]

Shameless plug, but I'm playing with Rust these days and I've setup a small POC: https://github.com/neslinesli93/hits-rs

Hopefully actix-web is a bit more resilient than Python!
