For a solo dev project this looks great and good luck with it! But am I correct to understand this can't be self-hosted/is not open source? To me "privacy-focused" is pretty much synonymous with open source and self hostable but I am curious if I missed something or if the community thinks otherwise.

Thank you! The SDKs are open-source, which I believe is the most important part. Users can verify how the integrations work and exactly what data is collected.

To me, privacy-focused also means to avoid collecting sensitive data in the first place. I'm hoping that mostly negates the need for self-hosting, in the spirit of keeping things simple for users.

That said, I'm definitely considering to support self-hosting in the future as well, and possibly open-sourcing the rest of the codebase.
