yeahh. For me technically it does not make sense for "privacy friendly" web analytics to rely on fingerprinting techniques because the common sentiment seems to be that cookies are bad. At least cookies are easily controllable.

Now shameless adverting: of course I present the solution: https://counter.dev

Hmm interesting. Yes, kind of related still different. It's a sqlite extension to query existing redis server data. Not a redis server itself. But interesting. Thanks for the link!

Hahaha, well it would be a pity to code for months in a basement only to find out there is no use case.

All is up and running again :-)

Thanks for letting people know!

It's pay what you want. The project is running for three years already, let's see how things go with time.

Apologies for the long downtime. The issue is being resolved, see here for updates:

That looks amazing.

Hmm but is leaving your data with Microsoft much better than with Google? I'd say no.

As a former user of both (for work), I agree and would never use either for my own projects when I can easily set up a self-hosted cookieless matomo instance.

Otoh, my former compliance officer much preferred using MS's product since it explicitly states that it's GDPR and CCPA compliant, while regulator and court decisions against google analytics were piling up in one of the markets we served (EU).

There is also the ePrivacy Directive. From what at the moment seems to me (it changes), it is in principle possible to make a GDPR compliant web analytics SaaS. But it might not be possible to avoid compliance banners given the current ePrivacy Directive. But most people don't know that thing exists.

Hello from the competition :-) It looks nice. I like how the main value proposition is actually clearly written out and basically can't not be not read. What I'd like is a live demo where you can quickly see what you get.
