There doesn't seem to be a limit to how many times a reader can smash that like button, which brings a new degree of expression to smashing that like. You can smash that like 10 times the article was good, 100 times if it was amazing, or 100 million times if you hated it and want the author to be bankrupted by their Vercel bill.

That's how medium does it, except they name it claps (or applause or something like that). I always kinda liked that about it
are you the one that is actually DDoSing my Vercel KV lol? I had like 5k requests in the last few hours ^^

As I mentioned in the blog, I have a free tier, so I just got an email from Vercel that KV will stop accepting new request for today.

(I work at Vercel) You can set up the Vercel Firewall to block traffic: https://vercel.com/docs/security/vercel-waf/custom-rules
thank you kind soul. I just push new version of the script so it only accepts 3 likes per visit. Not ideal, but a quick fix (:
