    Yes, if you display a custom 404 page.

    Yes, the UI is all from scratch. My inspiration was from seeing other audio-reactive videos on Youtube, but those were rendered with either Adobe After Effects or a 3D program like…

    I haven't looked into it so I am not sure if it's possible. The requirement would be for Electron to be able to run headless with WebGL enabled.

    If you simply drop in a song, it will render in realtime. You don't have to render it to a video. I am working on a "live" mode that will act much like Winamp, where you would sele…

    Hi everybody, I'm the creator of Astrofox. Surprised to see this here, but I'll be glad to answer any questions. Astrofox has been my side project for several years now. It's basic…

    You can use an open-source alternative like https://umami.is/

    I actually am using it to record metrics for umami.is: https://app.umami.is/share/8rmHaheU/umami.is I'm using it for all my websites. The reason I went with another site for the de…

    This may just be me, but I'm very particular about my software. I want it to look and flow a certain way. So I wrote Umami mainly for my needs first. Plus it was just a fun project…

    Fair point. I was simply following the "common practice" from other products making these claims, which is to not store personal user data and only generate an anonymous ids. Maybe…

    Agreed, saying it's a one to one alternative to Google Analytics is probably a misnomer. I think a lot of people, myself included, used GA because there were no simpler alternative…

    I will switch it over at some point. I've been running it on my own sites for a month so I just wanted to provide an example with more data to play with.

    For personal projects I tend to write all the CSS and components myself. I just like being able to control everything down to the pixel without reading some documentation. But that…

    This is my first time ever using Prisma and I'm a huge fan of it already. It did run into a few gotchas and would love to discuss.

    It uses prisma.io for the database connections and SQLite is supported. I just haven't had the time to implement it yet and make sure all the custom queries are working. I would we…

    Event tracking is already supported in the build. I just haven't completed the UI components yet. You simply add a custom CSS class on an element and it will automatically be track…

    I am not a lawyer so I cannot say for sure what constitutes PII and what breaches GDPR. I am using the same techniques as Fathom Analytics, Plausible.io and other products. Everyth…
