And pardon my thoughts but: if you say "I built Analytics for my Ghost blog" I come expect at hacker news "function and code". What I see there is "I built Analytics for your Ghost blog to pay for" aka advertising for a paid service. Its great, yes, but the headline feels ... wrong?
Excellent! I've been looking for something really simple and straight forward like this. A ton of analytics suites out there are geared towards engagement, user tracking, get-in-the-funnel type BS, but this looks really focused on what you would want to measure in a blog!
Are you using a theme for the app? Looks good.
I personally use clicky.com and get similar analytics. I guess this is good, but I don't think it justifies the price considering clicky.com gives you in some cases, more information (ip addresses, heatmaps of where users click, time spent, etc.)
If this tool can identify any visitor, should track them so I doubt about 100% GDPR compliant without opt-in & opt-out.
Thanks for your message!
Two Questions: 1. Do I understand this correctly, it works by inserting a tracking pixel in the html rendered by the blog? 2. Does it have GDPR Compliance? If yes, how?
1 - Just pasting a line in your Ghost admin > Code Injection 2 - Yes, basically: don't use cookies, don't get personal data or identify personally each visitor and all IPs are anonym (last octet removed).
Thanks!
Or just configure https://www.awstats.org/ to parse your server side logs. It's one of those things that worked for the past 18 years. EDIT: server side logs have serious advantages: no tracking cookies needed, so no cookie consent needed. Once the parsing done, the actual logs can be purged, so GDPR compliance is fine. It's not fancy, that's true, but it gives you quite a nice overview; enough for most blogs out the…
A quick note that the layout of the site is really broken - lots of things overlapping each other - on a not-terribly-big screen with MacOS / Firefox.
Looks neat, kinda what I expected from the Ghost Dashboard that was always on the roadmap and the Kickstarter pictures back in the days. It never got built apparently.
Serious question. Why should I pay for this, rather than use Google Analytics?
The writing style reminds me of /r/dogecoin; that's probably not the vibe you're going for. I'm viewing this on a 20+ inch monitor, and it's clipping on the right side. You might want to limit the max-width and center your content.
