I wanted to add this analytics, which I found on [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24198329). By the way the name [umami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umami) is a word of Japanese origin for one of the 5 basic tastes, which alone should be enough reason to use it.

- [Umami](https://umami.is) - A simple, easy to use, self-hosted web analytics solution.

# Project reached the first 1,000 Stars

_(source: [wikimedia.org](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Graffiti_Party_Time_01.JPG))_

I have been dilligently maintaining the Awesome Humane Tech project, and wanted to share with you the celebratory fact that the repository on Github just reached 1,000 stars 🥳

While I normally don’t consider stars a popularity contest (I use them as bookmarks, and to show appreciation to the devs) in this case I find it wonderful that so many people show interest in open-source humane technology projects.

I am currently [rolling out a humatech badge program](https://github.com/humanetech-community/awesome-humane-tech/issues/32) where projects on the list are eligible to wear this badge:

[![Awesome Humane Tech](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/humanetech-community/awesome-humane-tech/main/humane-tech-badge.svg?sanitize=true)](https://github.com/humanetech-community/awesome-humane-tech)

I expect that that will give a further boost to the project and attracts even more attention to humane technology.
