Respectlytics – Open-source, privacy-first mobile analytics (MIT+AGPL)
Hey HN — I built Respectlytics because I was frustrated that every mobile analytics SDK quietly collects device IDs, ad identifiers, and IP addresses, then makes you retroactively figure out compliance. There are some solutions out there claiming that they are compliant with certain privacy regulations but when I dig into it, I observe that they actually are not that compliant as they claim to be. I believe Respectlytics is one of the most (if not the most) privacy focused mobile analytics solutions out there but compliance is a huge topic and I leave the decision to the legal…

In plain words
Respectlytics is an open-source mobile analytics tool designed for developers who want user behavior insights without collecting device IDs, ad identifiers, or IP addresses. Built on data minimization principles, it avoids the hidden tracking practices common in standard analytics SDKs. The source code is publicly available for verification, allowing teams to audit privacy practices directly rather than relying on vendor claims about compliance.

Respectlytics - Firebase AlternativeJan 2026 · respectlytics.com · ▲6Built Respectlytics because I always got confused about how to deal with privacy questionnaires when publishing my own mobile apps in app stores. For people who have read a little bit about those privacy regulations like GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA, etc., I guess it is a bit difficult to say that an analytics solution is fully compliant and no user consent is needed. But what I have come to is that the key thing is to build something that is extremely defendable, transparent, and very easy to explain if and when needed. Privacy: API rejects custom fields with 400 errors. Only stores 5…

Talanoa▲341Hi 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…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
