I’m willing to test this hypothesis. It’s a marketing exercise for me. I used to overthink a lot about the choice of technology, scaling, etc At the end of the day, what matter is selling something that people want and getting feedback. On the other hand, those analytics are extremely simple, they somehow remind me of a more intelligent version a counter widget we had back in ’90. It’s just a POST with some data additional data being trigger at each visit. I’m sure how this could require a lot of support - time will show... and I’m probably wrong. ;) It boils down to my ability to market the product so that I have this support problem in the first place.

Haha! You should try it and tell me! Jokes aside, it’s just my attempt at indie hacking. I have some experience in sysadmin, and based on that I simplified certain parts of the system, so overall it’s more affordable, yet remains profitable. It’s still early, and probably much worse than Plausible, Fathom or Simple Analytics, but I decided to make an offering based on the price as the space is pretty crowded. If it works, I promise you I will do my best to not make it a 1/6th of the quality. ;)

Thank you. I will fix that.

I’m working on a slightly cheaper alternative to Plausible called Nibspace - it’s $1 instead of $6 for similar traffic volume.

I think the law is that if your "sleeper agent" makes its main activity out of it, then it is hidden employment and you can have troubles, otherwise it's ok
