This is really cool! Easy to use, nice options for icons, fonts, and backgrounds.

Well executed!

Very cool! I love the icons, where did you source them from?

One suggestion: the pill shaped background, should probably add an option to make it resize dynamically or not, some people might want that or or a fixed size.

A few features requests:

I'd like to add a symbol after the number. I can show 100, $100, but I can't show 100%.

If I use 30000, then only the first two digits change and the last three are always zero. Something like ??000. Add some randomness so all the digits change.

Countdown? (I'm not sure if someone would want this.)

Now you can add a prefix/suffix to a counter!

Simple and smart, wish I had thought of this myself.

Nicely done !

As a solo indie hacker, i always thought these would be great when tied with a marketing automation tool (which is what I open sourced)

I found animstats.com has formats specific for social networks but their product ux was too complicated.

Good luck!
