New Pepper - Doorbell by Shaun Inman

Posted 11 April 2007 in Pepper by Sam Brown - 9 Comments

A new Pepper by Shaun Inman, called, yes.. Doorbell allows you to see visually and/or audibly when a new visitor arrives at your site.

This paneless Pepper will chirp and/or flash every time someone accesses a page on your site. Unique users flash green while repeat users flash white with a lower chirp.

This initial release can be downloaded from the Peppermill.

From the release notes:

This Pepper uses Ajax polling (against a flat text file so there is no database overhead) to check for new hits every 2 seconds. To prevent drilling a hole in your server, this Pepper is automatically disabled when “Allow anyone to view Mint” is enabled.

Be sure to let us know how you like or dislike this Pepper!
