This looks great! For what it’s worth, I also maintain an open source (and self hosted) website analytics tool called Shynet [0] (someone else mentioned it in this thread, but thought I’d share here as well). Really great to see more options in this area!

I’ve been using GoatCounter for a couple of months now, it’s great! Super simple interface with all the data you need.

Aye, same here. It's really good!

I wish to see a line about backend platform on installation documentation. Yes, it's simple, but IMO no one will find "Umami requires bla bla platform on bla bla operating system." sentence useless.

From a quickscan of the GitHub repo [1], this is a JavaScript client, like Google Analytics, that sends data to a self-hosted Node.js backend that stores the data in MySQL or PostgreSQL using the Prisma database toolkit:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Of these, do any have a funnel tracking feature that shows what visitors went through a specific series of pages/events? Seeing how users moved about the site and seeing how many converted is a deal breaker for me.

Pretty sure posthog does.

(PostHog founder) Yes we do! PostHog gives you full funnel capabilities + ability to see exactly what users dropped out where
