GoatCounter: Open-source hosted/self-hosted web analytics

That's not really fair. I haven't used Plausible Analytics, but from a quick look it can be self-hosted, too: https://plausible.io/open-source-website-analytics#can-plaus...

I was after something like this a while ago. Settled on Umami https://umami.is/. Great projects!

nice to see a alternative to https://plausible.io/ . UI looks a little rough in comparison, but that's maybe more a matter of taste.

The biggest shortcoming here, from what I can tell, is custom event tracking (eg, click tracking). That was a high priority for us when we moved some projects from GA/universal.
