Are there any "Google Analytics" alternatives that aren't based on Python, Node, Go, etc but something with a PHP back-end that can be deployed to any commodity LAMP hosting provider?

You could check the ReverseEagle list: https://developers.reverseeagle.org/replace/google-analytics...

Also, anyone with a Tedomum account? It'd be nice if you could open an issue about adding umami.is. https://forge.tedomum.net/ReverseEagle/developers/-/issues

Is there any way to create and track custom events like clicks?

Does this use cookies and similar to warrant a GDPR prompt?

From the screenshots, the design looks very slick and I can’t wait to give it a try!

For something this simple, I was hoping to see an option for SQlite, not just MySQL and PostgresSQL.

I always like seeing competitors to GA but the website could really use some more information on why you should use it and the features it gives you. It's hard to beat top competitors in a saturated space.
