I removed Google Analytics from my SaaS and you should do it too
I want security and privacy to be a cornerstone of Monse from the start. This is crucial because our application is for banking.
We don't share or sell user data and information with third-parties. We never ask for or store bank credentials, either.
But I made a mistake. I used Google Analytics. As you know, Google Analytics it's not privacy-friendly. They track the user and, in Europe, it's illegal right now.
I was unaware of this, but when I shared the stack that I'm using in Monse a lot of users warn me about that, and they are right.
I switched from Google Analytics to Goat Counter today, and I couldn't be happier.
Goat Counter it's super simple, but It's just what I need. A totally free and privacy-friendly analytics alternative.

That's why I give birth to onduis.com :D
Hey! Do you know if the same privacy problem is true with the new GA4?
I just made a tweet about 2 hours ago about wanting to replace GA for https://krumzi.com.
I'll definitely try Goat Counter. Feels like the universes have aligned.
