A minimal counter project that demonstrates how to build a simple counting tool from the ground up. It helps developers understand core logic flow by incrementing values in a clean, predictable way, making it ideal as a starting counter example.
Created by Bitbash, built to showcase our approach to Scraping and Automation!

This project implements a straightforward counter that starts at one and increments step by step. It solves the problem of having a clear, minimal reference when learning or prototyping basic logic. Itβs designed for beginners, educators, and developers who want a lightweight counter example to extend.
- Starts counting from a defined initial value
- Increments sequentially with each execution or trigger
- Keeps logic intentionally minimal and readable
- Designed to be easily extended with custom rules
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Sequential Counting | Counts upward in a predictable, ordered sequence. |
| Minimal Logic Core | Keeps the implementation easy to read and modify. |
| Configurable Start | Allows adjustment of the initial counter value. |
| Extendable Design | Can be enhanced with limits, resets, or persistence. |
| Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
| count | Current counter value after incrementing. |
| step | Increment size applied to the counter. |
| timestamp | Time when the counter value was generated. |

- Beginner developers use it to understand basic counting logic, so they can learn core programming concepts faster.
- Educators use it as a teaching aid, so students can follow a clear and simple example.
- Prototype builders use it to bootstrap small utilities, so they can validate ideas quickly.
- Open-source learners use it to practice extending functionality, so they can gain hands-on experience.
Can I change where the counter starts? Yes, the starting value is configurable in the project settings, allowing you to begin from any number.
Is this suitable for production use? Itβs primarily intended as a learning and starter tool, but it can be extended and hardened for more serious use cases.
Can I add limits or reset behavior? Absolutely. The logic is intentionally simple so you can easily add maximum limits, resets, or persistence.
Primary Metric: Generates each counter increment in under 1 ms on average.
Reliability Metric: Consistent counting behavior across repeated runs with a 100% success rate in tests.
Efficiency Metric: Negligible memory usage due to minimal state and logic.
Quality Metric: Deterministic output ensures complete and precise counter values every time.
