Vince – A self hosted alternative to Google Analytics

For the past 3 years I have been working on a Golang port of plausible analytics dashboard. vince is a single binary, single user with multiple website system with zero runtime dependency. Key featues: - Automatic TLS - Outbounds link tracking - File downloads tracking - 404 pages tracking - Custom event tracking And so much more, basically everything that you see on plausible dashboard except funnels and custom properties. You can use vince as a drop in replacement for plausible for personal websites. The goal is to make the plausible dashboard easily accessible for people who like to self…

In plain words

Vince is a self-hosted web analytics platform built in Golang that replicates most features of Plausible Analytics as a single binary with no runtime dependencies. It tracks page views, outbound links, file downloads, 404 pages, and custom events across multiple websites. Designed for individuals who prefer self-hosting, Vince includes automatic TLS support and requires minimal resources to run. It functions as a drop-in replacement for Plausible on personal sites, though it omits funnels and custom properties.

    Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

  • I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
