I'm rewriting the open-source core [0] of our product [1] to add more flexible reports. This is the first time I'm building with the help of AI (Claude), but I don't really let it …

Exactly what I thought. Work sheets used to look like this if they have been copies of copies of copies...

Of course not, otherwise the rich wouldn't get richer and that would be bad for power consolidation. Everything is moving into this direction, so why should it be different with AI…

I've decided to take a break from working on Pirsch Analytics (pirsch.io) until next year and focus on some side projects instead: 1. Shifu ( https://github.com/emvi/shifu ) - a co…

On the plus side, this has prompted many people to finally switch to Linux. Even people I would never have thought would consider it are now thinking about it, or have already move…

I'd say cats are already pretty much self-driven.

Thank you for making ProtonDB! I use it a ton <3

Yup, I've been running Altcha on pirsch.io for a while now, and it was super easy to set up, is free, and open-source. One of the main reasons we've switched from hCaptcha is priva…

It's not that hard, but there are a few pitfalls you can stumble into. I currently run three clusters for myself and have set some for clients in the past. Some of the default conf…

I keep recommending it, but you can check out https://european-alternatives.eu/category/web-analytics-serv... for a more complete list of EU based web analytic services. I'm one of…

I'm still working like crazy on our privacy-friendly web analytics tool Pirsch Analytics (pirsch.io) :) I've been doing this for more than 4 years now and I'm still super motivated…

It's the same for me. I've switched to DuckDuckGo about 2 or 3 years ago and it feels like Google used to. I'm always shocked to see how bad the results are and how cluttered the t…

We had someone with a lot of experience in this field working for very large German corporations and got a discount/startup bonus. I wouldn't call it cheap. Imagine starting a busi…

Funny enough, they seem to have "copied" our structure. I remember when it basically was just a slider, without tiers.

I guess you have to sign up to a few, test them on your site, and decide which one to use. In the end, they are all slightly different. If you would like to self-host or have other…

This also factors in, yes. If we would store it indefinitely, there is the risk of profiling (estimating who someone is by their behaviour).

No, they are comparable, but it's an independent tool. When we started, Plausible wasn't as big as it now is. We also had a focus on deeper integrations via API from the get go, a …

No. You can learn more about it here: https://docs.pirsch.io/privacy

For Pirsch, we have a PWA you can install right from your mobile browser :)

Yeah, we also use the delta. However, you can send a custom event on close to update the session duration. The session won't be counted as bounced in our system then and the time i…

Correct, it's not so much about Cookies, but how data is collected and what is stored. We have done a privacy risk analysis with an external lawyer and data protection officer, and…

You can find a nice list of privacy-respecting analytics tools on European Alternatives [0], including mine, Pirsch [1]. I've been in this space for ~3 1/2 years, so if you have an…
