Have A Little Flutter

Everyone knows that one of the biggest joys of Mint is checking your stats every 3 seconds. But what happens if you’re on the bus? At your Aunties house? Stuck in a queue? Little Flutter solves this problem giving you a little chunk of minty goodness, anywhere, viewable using any mobile browser.

Little Flutter is a Pepper for Shaun Inman’s brilliant stats package Mint (Version 2 only). It currently allows you to view your total hits, and hits for today, this week and this month.

Download Little Flutter (Version 0.5)

Release History

• 9th Feb 2007: 0.5 - Initial Release

Tested/Supported Mobile Browsers

Standard Browser on k800i (Orange, UK)
Notes: Has good support for the handheld styles and displays well in this browser.

Opera Mini 3 on k800i (Orange, UK)
Notes: No support for tables, it seems that, although the handheld styles appear to be loaded they do not override other styles.

Known Issues

Extra white space: a line of extra white space is displayed for each pane you have shown, I am looking into fixing this.

Todo

• Adjust display code to use Shaun’s generateTable().
• Move CSS to external file (possibly).
• Add more stats, probably last five searches and last five referrers.
• Hide the pane when viewed on a desktop browser (possibly).

If you are using this pepper please leave a comment to tell me what you think, and let me know how it’s looking on your mobile web browser. You can also check out the development thread over at the Mint forums.
