How HN: I built a simple, privacy-first web analytics tool (no cookies)

After getting frustrated with bloated dashboards and noisy metrics, I decided to build my own analytics tool — just the essentials, nothing more.

It’s lightweight, fast, and doesn’t use cookies or invasive tracking. I made it because I wanted something I could install in seconds and actually understand.

Key features:

Essential metrics only — no fluff

Super fast & lightweight script

Privacy-first (no cookies, no fingerprinting)

Setup takes less than a minute

Built this after work hours as a side project — would love your feedback!
