This is exactly what I'm building http://www.instahero.com to solve. You don't have to build your own infrastructure, just write the relevant bit of code (or select a template) and you have a dashboard.

Thanks for sharing. I agree with @bunkat here (though I didn't read the whole page). I find the language around analytics apps (including big boys like Mixpanel) to be generally vague. If you're catering to a primarily developer audience, you may consider just showing me how easy it is. StatHat does a good job of this.

I think your value prop could be honed a bit. I tend to read more on a site than most people will, but I still couldn't get through the wall of text without losing interest and leaving. An example of 'write this code and get this!' would have kept me around.
