Currently working on simplytics.dev 📈🚀 It’s the reasonably priced ($1/month) alternative to Plausible.

Failed projects: Indielytics, the stupid simple public only web analytics
The new layout and design + funnels is finally shipped and live. Check out the demo, i'd love to hear some feedback!

Finally picked up working on funnels @ Simplytics.dev again

The update will also come with a new sidenav

Heads-up to the few of you using Indielytics.link!

I’m shutting it down soon, it’s purpose was to drive traffic to Simplytics.dev, which it did but not enough to justify costs

Finally continued working on funnels again, I'm almost finished. But thought I would be here weeks ago...

Getting closer to the finish line, but this weekend is coming to an end. I'll have to pick it up next weekend.

A lot of web analytics does funnels, but unlike other features, all do it a bit differently. You got any unique takes on it?

While working on funnels I realized Simplytics has gotten a need of better navigation, so I started work on that too.

Which got kind of messy since funnels isn't finsihed.

Also turns out comparing months of views to a few days of funnel data makes the conversions look very bad...

Finally started work on funnels for Simplytics.dev! Almost finised on the backend, just need to add support for wildcard (*) routes.

Currently working on the hard part, forntend design...

Also, just reached 400 followers here on BlueSky! #BuildInPublic

To get more spread with word of mouth I just pushed one of the biggest changes so far to my web analytics:

Simplytics.dev is now $1 per month! (previously $3/month)

This of course also applies to existing users. More coming soon! #BuildInPublic

What's your take on free trials?

I'm doing a 7 day one at simplytics.dev, but that may be too short.

Feels like it can't prove it's worth in just 7 days. #BuildInPublic

Testing www.indielytics.link from @avfrosta.bsky.social on my personal site. If it turns out that I have some actual traffic visiting it I will upgrade to the paid service 😀

Just open-sourced a project for the first time: github.com/Avfrosta/Ind...

It's a super simple public only web analytics (atleast in this configuration).

Currently adding Google OAuth to Simplytics, the only option atm is GitHub.

What OAuth options do you have / think are necessary?

Just finished the heatmap functionality and pushed it to www.simplytics.dev!

Users can now see and save a heatmap of the views their website have gotten in the past year⏳

Which style do you prefer #BuildInPublic?

The heatmap is coming along nicely, only some polishing to do left🖌️

Would love input on the design!

Simplytics now supports tracking up to 12 different sites!

Question is: Is it enough? A lot of indiemakers got a lot of projects on the backburner...

Question for those of you using Notion:

Would being able to connect your web analytics to Notion (allowing you to see you analytics in a notion graph) interest you?

If so, please let me know. Just started getting into Notion's API docs. #BuildInPublic

Finally added session duration to simplytics.dev!

Did you ship a feature today?

Working on session duration for www.simplytics.dev.

I'm going to use a heartbeat function for this that sends a post to my endpoint. What is a reasonable granularity for this? How many seconds between each post?

Just shipped a new feature to my 100% free tool.

Analyze you server access logs and see amount of views and visitors hour on hour.

Check it out at www.indielytics.link/logs. Would love some testing since I haven't tried it out with all the server log types.
