The Global Hub, in the open

Open Startup

A transparent look at The Global Hub: public discovery content and dated traffic measurements, with sources and limitations stated.

The figures on this page come from three kinds of source, each labelled where it appears: platform counts read from the production database, traffic figures from a stats cache refreshed every six hours, and an engineering record published as a dated snapshot.

Who arrives, and from where

Three measurements that are easy to confuse, kept apart: our own page-view beacon, Cloudflare at the edge, and Google Search. Each states its source and window.

Bot-flagged traffic (historical)

Traffic on our pages

Historical snapshot - visitor tracking paused. Last updated: 2026-11-02 11:38 UTC

Measured by our own page-view beacon and refreshed by the database on a schedule, not on every page load.

Human page views, last 7 days2026-10-28 to 2026-11-03
17,116

Automated (bot) page views: 20,732 (7 days).

Source: our own page-view log, updated 2026-11-05 UTC. Days are New York calendar days, not UTC. Complete days only. Human means not bot-flagged, which is not verified human. The 24 hour window is unavailable: the live reader is not in service.

First-party pageviews (page_views, is_bot rows excluded), rolling windows ending at as_of: last 24 h / 7 d / 30 d and the previous equal period. previous_complete=false means page_views holds no rows before that previous window starts, so no delta may be shown. Bursts and Lightpanda rows are counted until they are labelled and backfilled. Automated bursts that are not yet flagged are counted until the flagging backfill is done.

Served from cache and reached our servers add up to requests. Of those requests, web pages counts the ones that returned an actual page rather than an image, a stylesheet or a script, which is Cloudflare's own definition. Every figure here counts search engine crawlers, AI crawlers and automated traffic alongside people, because that is what arrives.

Sessions that read more than one page is our own measure, not Cloudflare's: sessions with 2+ distinct pages viewed, trailing window, unfiltered by is_bot. It is the closest thing on this page to a count of people, and it is small.

03Engineering record

Built, rebuilt, and shipped in public

GitHub commits: API checked on server render when available. Jira: snapshot measured 4 November 2026. Codebase size measured 17 October 2026; Git-history churn and retention pending measurement.

The Booking Agency started with Lovable. As the platform grew, we substantially rebuilt the codebase and moved engineering to Claude Code. Today we also work with ChatGPT, Codex, Perplexity and Kimi across development, research and review. The figures below reflect our broader engineering history: the original build, rebuilds, migrations, fixes and production work, not output attributed to any single AI tool.

1,580,515

Tracked codebase lines

5,640 files measured with cloc v2.06 on 17 October 2026: 838,565 JSON, 452,971 TypeScript, 202,276 SQL, and other languages and documentation. Repository size, not handwritten code output.

Every commit reachable from main, merges included: commits, not deployments, pull requests or lines of code. Counted at main at 32b20216, 30 October 2026; the live API count takes precedence.

Jira figures are dated snapshots; the GitHub commit figure is refreshed from the API when available, otherwise uses the dated snapshot. Snapshot measured on 4 November 2026 () and are updated by hand. 58 cancelled work items (project = TBA AND status = Cancelled) are not counted as completed.

07Notes

On the numbers

Jobs

Every source is checked against its own terms before we ingest from it. Sources whose terms are silent on republication are parked, not used. In August 2026 that check moved a large share of our job board to draft, and we would rather show fewer listings than ones we have no right to show.

Search and discovery

Google Search Console data appears in the Search data section above.

Visitors

A visitor is a session that viewed two or more pages. Raw session counts are dominated by datacentre and crawler traffic, so we do not publish them.

Session counts are shown in the Traffic sections above, each with its own source and update date.

Funding

Bootstrapped and self-funded.

08Principles

Why open?

Most platforms are opaque: visit counts are invented and operating figures are hidden. We treat them as evidence.

The Global Hub publishes selected platform and historical operating figures on this page. Platform counts and our own traffic figures are read from the production database, some directly when the page is generated and some through a stats cache that states its last refresh. Cloudflare figures carry their own update date. The engineering record is a dated snapshot with its source. Each section says which it is. The intent is simple: anyone deciding whether to rely on this site should be able to see how it is performing.

Counted, not claimed

The engineering record from the repository and the issue tracker, not from a marketing summary. Every figure states what it counts.

Independent and creator-owned

Independently built as a project of Tara Trade International in the Netherlands. Public discovery is available; Talent and Client profiles, paid services and new registrations are currently paused.
