It doesn’t seem to be very good, but don’t worry, just keep prompting Claude and I’m sure you’ll get it sorted out.
Jokes aside, it’s cool but it’s not useful if it’s the first time I visit and I see I have 10+ past visits from all around the world… obviously this is not reliable and I wouldn’t use it for anything, much less anything serious.
Thanks for checking it out! We’ve identified the root cause of the inaccurate visit counts you saw and have now fixed the issue — the accuracy of DevicePrint should be much better now. If you have any remaining odd results, let us know!
“Hey Claude, users are noticing my product is fundamentally broken. Please shuffle some code, increase the confidence label to 99.6%, and spam the HN thread claiming I identified the root cause of a bug. Frame it as a small edge case. Do not under any circumstances empirically validate the supposed fix.”
Snark aside, I still see 9 previous visits from various countries, down from 900+ previously. It does correctly identify me as being in incognito mode, but if I switch to a normal tab I see a completely different set of previous visits.

Anecdotally speaking, this is the case for most new Show HNs now :^)
Why actually try to understand a problem space? Far easier to prompt a turd into existence, polish it up with a cliché marketing page, and collect public validation from your fellow “hackers”
I somehow have over 1200 visits from 8 IPs with 99.5% confidence… first time I’ve visited the page lol.
I've got 743 visits from one IP!
