I’m building a private analytics suite for websites. It aims to be a more complete toolset than alternatives like Plausible, Fathom or Simple Analytics (great products too BTW). Feeling super lucky as I just launched and already handling millions of page views per month for 200+ customers.

Not yet at $500 MRR but I’m focusing on providing a lot of value in a simple package, and automating as much as possible to reduce daily operations and move fast.

The stack mainly consists of Python, React, Postgres, Clickhouse, and Redis running on Kubernetes (deployment configured via Terraform and Kustomize). Was running on DO + Linode and just moved to AWS.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hey, that's cool! I run the SF Bay Area ClickHouse Meetup. We like hearing about new analytic apps. Let me know if you want to do a talk about how you are using ClickHouse. Our next meetup going to be in early December.

My email is on my profile if you want to contact me directly.

    Hey thanks for considering me! I do intend to write a few blog posts about how I use Clickhouse, but I'll get in touch if anything.

Your landing page looks cool!

I tried clicking the "Features" page but I didn't see any features listed, in what sense is it more complete than the mentioned alternatives?

    Thanks for the feedback! I have to improve the feature section.

    As I just launched the MVP, I don't offer yet some of the more advanced features, but I will focus on them for the coming months.

    Here are some ideas I've been bouncing around with some customers:

    - Filter by any dimension on the dashboards.

    - More performance metrics (like time to first paint and Apdex scores).

    - Automated insights and anomaly detection (i.e. "XYZ page has a higher bounce rate than normal this week" or "Visitors coming from Y spend 50% more time on your website.").

    As it's an early stage product, I'm still pivoting the direction constantly to find my niche.

      The upcoming features sound really interesting, but I wouldn't market it as "a more complete toolset" until those features are actually implemented. Probably the other tools will also have those features at some point, I think customers are more interested in what the product does now than what it could do in a few years.
