Ytics
Hello HN! I’m the maker of ytics.io. I built this because I was frustrated with the current state of web analytics. To use GA4 legally in Europe, you need a massive cookie banner, which ruins UX and causes you to lose ~30-50% of your data (users who reject or use ad-blockers). ytics is my attempt to fix this. It’s a privacy-first analytics platform that works without cookies, so you don’t need a consent banner (GDPR/PECR compliant). How it works technically: Instead of cookies/localStorage, we generate a daily-rotating hash based on the user’s request (IP + User Agent + Daily…

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 wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
