Analytics for indie hackers is annoying so I'm making it easier

My problem was simple. I wanted analytics on my website and I wanted it to be simple. This meant I needed a solution that is compliant with privacy laws while also being really easy to integrate.

I host most of my web apps on vercel so I tried using their analytics solution but I ran into their limit and didn't want to upgrade my account. I looked at a couple other solutions but they all required a monthly subscription, and in my case, most of my websites don't even get enough traffic to warrant having a monthly subscription.

Now you might say "why not use google analytics". Well for me I personally have moved away from google and the firebase ecosystem and I prefer using different tools like turso db instead of firestore or s3 instead of their file storage.

So I did what any logical software developer would do and I spent a week making my own analytics app. I had a large focus on making it very simple to implement so that I would only have to think about shipping new projects fast.

A thought came into my mind and I realized that there are probably a lot of indiehackers in the same situation as me. So now I'm here seeing if this is indeed a shared experience. I am launching a landing page for indielogic which will be a public version of the analytics solution I created. I plan on offering a very generous free tier (5 websites, 10,000 events per month, 30 day data retention and option export it if needed ). I also plan on making it open source at some point incase developers would like to host it themself.
