Hello HN, founder of Countly (https://count.ly) here. As you might know, we are the creators of one of the first open-source product analytics platforms that has 10+ SDKs for mobile, desktop and web applications. We've been working on a new SaaS, myCountly, to help you launch your own Countly servers in any location, so your user data stays close to home.We are going to do an alpha launch soon,...

Well, since Countly Community Edition is open source we don't offer any SaaS from our server just yet. Countly Cloud will be the SaaS solution and I believe a micro instance won't do any good after the first week :) But a micro instance is powerful enough to host a website or a blog, even to open up your service for private beta.

AppFog, Heroku[1] and dotCloud[2] are all great

I tried Trello before and I think its pretty lightweight and useful.

Great idea about an upcoming post :)

That's correct, I mentioned it at the beginning of the post

Correlating the data with marketing efforts would be nice and definitely provide more value but the apps we analyzed have little to no marketing budget (although there are some popular ones). This analysis actually shows the importance of marketing and promotion efforts since without them this is how an app ends up.

We will be doing similar analysis in the following weeks and hopefully will provide more detailed insights.

Yeah its just App Store. We didn't really have a chance to bundle such stats for Android apps yet but I'm pretty sure the results will be pretty similar.
Re:Getting out of your comfort zone with Node.js on Friday July 27, 2012 @03:10PM (#4303085)
The main point of my blog post was to show our positive experience by using something new to build something new. I'm not talking about renewing your existing backend, changing your perfect PHP implementation to Node.js, I'm talking about our story of choosing a platform for our new project and suggesting people out there to be open to trying new platforms according to their needs. I know the feeling, I did the same before. I have used PHP for projects that I had better alternatives for, just because it felt comfortable and hassle-free.

In our case we have tried several other platforms/languages and the best fit was Node.js for us. “Do the research, be a developer not just an X language developer” would probably sum up my whole point.

You can take a look at http://count.ly if you are looking for an open source solution. It has a Node.js + MongoDB server and Android & iOS SDKs. (Yes I'm the developer)

It would be interesting to play with your API since Countly team is composed of all telco professionals :)
Re:Countly | Mobile Application Analytics on Monday June 18, 2012 @11:38AM (#4126922)
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm pretty sure our co-founder/designer Osman knows about this but anyways being unique is always better :)
Re:Countly | Mobile Application Analytics on Monday June 18, 2012 @10:10AM (#4126476)
We have shortage of documentation for now thats for sure. We will be providing more documents about installation on different platforms in the coming days. If you have any problems or questions we will be more than happy to help if you open up a discussion from http://support.count.ly

Show HN: Countly open source mobile analytics is ready to download

Posted by onur on Monday May 21, 2012 @06:02AM
from the show-hn dept.

We've just launched our open source mobile application analytics platform Countly (http://count.ly) and its available to download from our home page. Countly uses MongoDB, Node.js and quite a lot of cool js libraries (backbone, underscore, jquery, flot etc.). We would really appreciate it if any iOS and/or Andoroid developers out there would like to try it out. Also we can provide a demo...

Thanks, we intend to do so :)
Re:Show HN: Countly, real-time mobile application analytics with a style on Monday April 09, 2012 @03:59PM (#3818914)
Yea we used flot but its a little bit custom. Its also planned to be released as a patch.
Re:Show HN: Countly, real-time mobile application analytics with a style on Monday April 09, 2012 @03:36PM (#3818802)
In less than 30 days the version you can see in the demo (http://count.ly/dashboard) will be available together with the SDK that needs to be embedded into your app.
Re:Show HN: Countly, real-time mobile application analytics with a style on Monday April 09, 2012 @03:29PM (#3818764)
Thanks! Those two features are planned for the next version since most probably they will not be ready for the first release.
Re:Show HN: Countly, real-time mobile application analytics with a style on Monday April 09, 2012 @03:27PM (#3818749)
Node.js and mongodb. We actually have an API to read the data even our demo uses this. The API will be released together with the whole platform.
Re:Show HN: Countly, real-time mobile application analytics with a style on Monday April 09, 2012 @02:47PM (#3818551)
Hi guys, for a couple of months we have been working on this mobile analytics platform and we wanted to show it to the community to get feedback, opinions etc. It has a demo for now and will be available in less than a month.
