Products that do what The simplest tiny analytics tool – storywise does
I've built a little prototype a long while back, to help me keep track of visitors on my website. I didn't like google analytics for obvious privacy reasons, and I didn't like the existing self-hosted options because of how complicated they are. I always wanted a simple, basic tool, similar to plausible, but even simpler. So a few weeks ago I rebuilt my prototype into a reusable tool. And I made it open source. I built a website, a documentation, and I'd be excited for someone else to try it too. Who knows, maybe if enough people like the idea, I might even make it into a SaaS to save…

I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each. So, I whipped this together real fast and I can't imagine using Google Tasks without it anymore. I realized you might want it too, so I put it on the web. Enjoy :)

I've seen plenty of threads on HN about various alternatives to GA, but you can't try them all. So I tried 15 of the most popular, including: Matomo Cloud, Piwik Pro, Clicky, Cloudflare Web Analytics, Statcounter, Chartbeat, Fathom, Plausible Analytics, Visitor Analytics, Google Analytics 4, Mixpanel, Snowplow, Amplitude Analytics, Heap, and PostHog. Basically anything with >= .1% market penetration in the top 1M sites that had as self-service plan. There's no one-size-fits-all replacement for everyone, but there are a lot of good options if you're trying to get off of Google. Happy to…

I wanted to share something I've been working on recently: Statum, a handy web analytics tool. https://github.com/extractumio/statum The journey began when I found myself frequently needing simple web analytics for my projects. I tried Google Analytics, especially GA4, and realized it was quite complex and, at times, not very accurate, especially when I wanted to view stats for the current day or recent hours. Then I tested a few fancy startup solution but ended up with way too expensive plans the expect me to subscribe (I'm not that rich to pay $99/month for every…

Back in October, I built a web analytics tool. It had two distinguishing features: it was cheap, and it had a weekly AI email summary so you wouldn't have to check your dashboards. Turned out that cheap made no difference, but the few users I had really liked the email digest. The world moves fast these days, and suddenly I found myself experimenting with agents, and doing all my work in Claude Code, so I decided to throw out everything and rebuild the tool as lodd.dev, a headless web analytics tool for agents. 42 MCP tools and a full API that lets agents call and act on analytics data as…

If you're a developer, you've probably spent some time searching for the right analytics tool. We did it too. Most people default to Google Analytics, but it’s not always the perfect fit, especially if you're concerned about setup complexity, privacy, having a constant support (as a small team) or customization.

We think Litlyx is the freshest analytics solution as 2024/2025 and beyond. Everybody can use it from marketers, product…

To promote my startup, I made a free tool that compares your Google Analytics stats to the industry standard's stats that have been pulled from a whole bunch of sources. Let me know what you guys think! http://www.voodooalerts.com/is-my-site-broken
