It doesn't even offer close to the features Google Analytics offers and costs $12/month. The same such a service as Netflix costs. The idea is nice but looking at the actual product here: https://simpleanalytics.io/simpleanalytics.io It disappoints in every way, you can't even check yesterdays stats.
Please remember this is a Show HN, very early stage.
Creator here. As a developer, I install analytics for clients, but I never feel comfortable installing Google Analytics because Google creates profiles for their visitors, and uses their information for apps (like AdWords). As we all know, big corporations unnecessarily track users without their consent. I want to change that. So I built Simple Analytics. To ensure that it's fast, secure, and stable, I built it entir…
Nice. You might want to add an explicit copyright/license though. Make it less (or more) dangerous for other devs to read it...
I think it could actually be quite useful to "standardize" on a simple (open/libre) front end for analytics (with an implied back-end standard).

It's a business service, not a consumer service. Apples to oranges. People will pay for it.

Hey I like the idea but have a question. How are you storing all the information that analytics users want to know i.e. (What devices, what languages, what geolocations, what queries, what page navigations and clicks, etc.) After reading what you collect I'm assuming you are doing a lot of JS sniffing of browser properties to gather this information along with IP address analysis is that correct? Or what are you plan…
It doesn't look like they collect or store languages, geolocations, or devices beyond screen sizes.
I've moved away from using any kind of script embedded in my webpages for tracking and instead just use Goaccess ( https://goaccess.io/ ) to analyze my logs. Though there are obvious caveats with this, you need to install it, configure the server logging to match it and so on. But personally the benefits outweighs the cons, it all runs on the server, you are the sole owner off all the data and this tracking doesn't r…

I LOVE Goaccess and highly recommend it as well. My single complaint is the lack of ability to filter/define a date and time range. I know there is an issue for it but last time I checked it had been open for quite some time :(.
IP-address is considered personal data. So when the browsers visits a page with the JS, the IP-address of the user is transferred to your server. So that means the website I am visiting is sharing my IP-address with a third-party (you).

You could argue that if it is very early stage, then it's maybe not the right time to charge $12/month.
