Kudos

Fast, self-hosted like-button widget you can embed on any website, backed by Redis.

Pluginfree

Kudos is a lightweight, self-hosted like-button widget that can be embedded on any website with a small JavaScript and CSS snippet, using Redis to store like counts. It was built as a faster alternative to the original kudosplease.com service after its backend proved slow. It's aimed at bloggers and site owners who want a simple, self-hosted like counter rather than a third-party embedded widget.
