Show HN: Inspired by open startups, I built an API-driven personal dashboard

I've always been fascinated by open startups[0] and their transparency with sharing metrics. I wanted to create something similar for my personal site.

To create this, I used Next.js API routes[1] + Now serverless functions[2].

◆ Unsplash API for views/downloads

◆ YouTube API for views/subscribers

◆ Google Analytics API for page views

Bonus: Uses SWR[3] to refresh stale content
