Day 5: Built the metrics dashboard 📊

by warrenchad236

My StarterStack build journey continues: simple, no-fluff launch pages for validating SaaS ideas.

I find GA too heavy and confusing for my needs. At this stage of validation I want simple metrics so I built this in natively.

Now, each launch page tracks visits, CTA clicks & conversion rate — no GA or setup needed. Super simple! I am happy with it.

Next up: waitlist form.

Does anyone else find GA too bloated and a bit complex?
  1. Yes
  2. No
