After getting frustrated with bloated dashboards and noisy metrics, I decided to build my own analytics tool — just the essentials, nothing more.
It’s lightweight, fast, and doesn’t use cookies or invasive tracking. I made it because I wanted something I could install in seconds and actually understand.
Key features:
Essential metrics only — no fluff
Super fast & lightweight script
Privacy-first (no cookies, no fingerprinting)
Setup takes less than a minute
Built this after work hours as a side project — would love your feedback!
