I spent 8 months building a self-hosted web analytics app

In plain words

321analytics is a self-hosted web analytics application that developers can install and run on their own servers. Launched in 2018, it provides an alternative to cloud-based analytics platforms by giving users full control over their data and infrastructure. The tool is designed for developers and technical teams who prefer to manage their analytics independently rather than rely on third-party services.

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.
