Hello everyone, Freshlytics is a self-hosted open-source privacy-friendly analytics software. You can use it to learn more about your users in terms of visited urls, referrers and browsers used without invading the users privacy. It doesn't use cookies and doesn't collect PII. It doesn't even store event level data - only aggregate data for the whole day organised by different dimensions. That is, after an event is ingested by the system it's grouped with all other events sent by other visitors - so you can't view the events just for a visitor or a visitor's browser etc. While this limits what metrics can be collected, I felt that there might be a good portion of websites on the internet who don't need these invasive metrics. It's built using Typescript (React/Express) and uses PipelineDB for storage. All the reports are pre-defined (not

adhoc) so I felt this is a good use case for PipelineDB's continuous views. --- Screenshots: https://github.com/sheshbabu/freshlytics/blob/master/docs/sc... Docs: https://freshlytics.gitbook.io/docs/ --- Features: Privacy * Cookies are not used * Personally identifiable information (PII) is not collected Dashboard * Switch between multiple projects * Slice the data within a date range * See the pageview in different dimensions like page urls, referrers, browsers etc Tracking * Currently focuses on website pageview tracking * Tracks visited page urls, referrers, browsers and browser versions Projects * Supports multiple projects * Different projects can have different reporting timezones Users * Users can either be Admin or normal users * Admins can create/edit/delete projects and other users --- Please give it a try and let me know what you would like to see improved :)
