Hi HN, As an indie hacker, the new Google Analytics (GA4) coming motivated me to look for a straightforward alternative that would also be affordable. I had a few basic product requirements and didn’t want to spend too much to replace a free product. There are a lot of great Google Analytics alternatives out there, but the pricing didn’t seem right. As someone who likes to just build things, many of which aren’t businesses yet, it didn’t make sense to pay for options like Plausible and Fathom out of the gate. So I joined with a friend to build Beam Analytics. Beam gives you all the standard…

Hey HN, I aggregated a bunch of GTM advice, including their rankings. Thought it could be useful for some founders here. Let me know if you have any feedback. Thanks!

When Google forced the switch from UA to GA4, I found myself struggling to understand my magazine's performance metrics (I occasionally edit a magazine along with my full-time job). So I built a dashboard that pulls GA4 data and presents it in a clean, intuitive interface focused on metrics that actually matter. It made the job of pulling reports and usage stats very simple for my website and greatly improved my daily productivity. At this stage, it was running on localhost on my machine and during this project, I ended up learning React (coming from a pure C/C++ world). I showed it to…

Hey HN! We are Patrick & Chris, bootstrapped co-founders of GA Insights (https://www.ga-insights.com) - a simple way of getting reports and alerts for your tools inside Slack and Teams.

The idea was born out of the angst that we had experienced using disparate tools to monitor our metrics, client & to share information. Google Analytics has an ever-evolving interface…

After months of using Google Analytics I realized only about 50% of people accepted my cookie-popup. I had months of incorrect data for my website. I started looking for alternatives and eventually found Plausible, which is great (and open-source). Problem is, I didn't feel like paying 9$ a month to see the amount of visitors on a website i didn't even earn anything on, it was just a hobby project. Eventually I started making my own web analytics. Which actually isn't that hard. It took me about a month of working on my spare time every now and then. Being GDPR compliant basically means to…

TLDR: I made a public only web analytics without signup. Stores views and visitors for 10 days before deleting data. Exactly 25 days ago today I posted here, proud of my new web analytics. The response was mixed and my post even got flagged (understandable). It was my first real launch and I actually made a sale just a day later of 49$(!). Back then my project was pay once, keep forever. Since then I have sadly went over to the dark side (subscription based). Anyways, I never went back to look at the post after the first two hours, turns out I got a lot of answers. Most answers was something…
