Having added Plausible to my site recently, one killer feature in my opinion is the ability to rewrite the analytics script to be served from your own domain. What this means in effect is that it won't get picked up in traditional ad blockers so the accuracy is much closer to that of server log parsing. Additionally, you can surface your analytics publically which is cool.

Cool yeah I don't have something with sufficient page visits to merit analytics but if I did I'd probably reactivate plausible from its dormant status

Public analytics seems interesting - have you been able to do anything particularly interesting by leveraging this capability?

I haven't myself but there is an API for running queries so it'd be kinda cool to surface X people are on this site currently or generate a little timeseries graph showing popularity of posts
