In plain words

Sleek is a Ruby gem that provides simple analytics functionality using MongoDB as a backend. It is designed for developers building Ruby applications who need basic analytics capabilities without complex features. The gem originated from work on a real-time analytics system for online shops and offers a generic, low-level library for tracking and analyzing application data.

From the sources

For some time before, I have been working on a real-time analytics app for online shops . It got me interested in analytics to some extent. The analytics engine I've created for ShopStream isn't very generic and tied to how it currently does analytics. Recently, I've had an idea to create a more generic, low(er)-level library for doing analytics in Ruby with MongoDB. Meet Sleek . It is very simplistic and far from begin feature-rich for now, but I'm just starting. I plan to add more cool stuff tofrom goshakkk.name

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
