Analytics: a small privacy focused web tool

Sometimes I wonder if anyone actually reads the posts I write here.

Either way, here's a small project I've been working on.

I'm building a self-hosted, privacy-focused website analytics tool. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no tracking users across the web. Just simple analytics for people who want insights without collecting unnecessary data.

Why?

I don't trust Google with all my data.

I enjoy building things.

My data should stay my data.

The goal is to keep things simple:

  1. Self-hosted
  2. SQLite
  3. Docker Compose
  4. Minimal setup
  5. Privacy first

This will also be my first larger project written in Golang. I've used Go before, but never for something like this. It should be a fun challenge.

Version 0.1 is currently in development. Once it's ready, I'll write a longer post covering the architecture and design decisions.

Until then, happy coding.
