Hi IndieHackers,

As others said, ideally explain how you are different from the dozen other privacy focused analytics tools. May sections
Ondius vs fathom
Ondius vs Pirsch , usermaven, Cloudflare analytics, etc
I would rather say EU based company and servers located in the EU. I don't associate Romania as a privacy focus country, and wouldn't you rather use local Romanian servers instead of moving to another jurisdiction (Sweden)?
A Sweden owned (swedish owned?) Server could be outside the EU, right?
A link to the site would be helpful :)

whoops, thank you for noticing :)
I like the way you go minimal on your website. The only thing that I'm concerned about is that there is not enough information about what your exact product is. Of course, it's quite easy to make a guess, since it's a tool for easier analytics & more privacy, but what makes you different (give that explanation)?
Question I'm getting right now are:
These questions I would like to see being answered on your website.
But for the rest: Nice job and good that you provide a freemium product!
Thank you for your kind review, we are now working on our blog and documentation page, and soon we will answer all questions, thanks :)
Your website looks fantastic, I especially love the registration page. Good work.
Thank you :)
The website looks good! But I think you need a bit more content on the website to really explain the product more in-depth. But great start!
Thank you, received, will dig more into it :)
How did you build the product? Looks great by the way
Thank you, we invite you to try it, it is a long story about how we built it, but keeping simple php+mysql and magic script that is installed on customers' websites, everything on AWS :)
The logo can be improved.
Everything else looks really great, I might switch to yours.
Yeah, I need to work on that, you can join us, we have some great deals for you :)
I love how simple it is. Especially the pricing plan. I'm digging the design. All the best.
Thank you for your feedback :)
I love how simple the landing page is! Straight to the point. The market you choose is great too. I hope you grow this to $10k MRR!
Soo, the data is in Sweden of a US-based company... Awesome that there is no such law forcing US companies to hand over data into the US, if the US government forces them to... ou, wait: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act
EDIT: It's about roasting it, right? The webpage looks great and it reads like a fascinating product.
How is this different than plausible.io?
Even some of the USPs are exactly the same but without the major benefit of plausible being FOSS and you can host it yourself.
Onduis and Plausible are two completely different platforms, with completely different approaches to the design, the technologies involved (back-end code, storage engine), and the tracking method (we’re more privacy friendly than they are, as we do not fingerprint the visitors).

BTW I like the idea of pathview, it's build differently with a serious approach to design
You ask to be roasted but it seems you're having quite some difficulty standing your ground, let alone understanding and welcoming feedback.. If you're not open to that, why even ask for it?
Your big fat banner directly takes on GA by stating it was considered illegal. That banner then proudly states operating from Sweden and running a Moldavian and Romanian company which struck me as odd. Looking at your terms it doesn't mention any registered entity at all:
So perhaps you should actually register a company (which can only be seated in one country) or modify your terms and the banner.
As for the rest, it really looks a lot like a clone to Fathom. Your landing page has been inspired by it, your dashboard with the graph and 50/50 split beneath as well.
Hi, thanks for your feedback.
I find it important to share information about GA being illegal in EU countries, we don't operate in Sweden, we have our server based in Sweden and we found it important to let our customers know, where the servers with their information are stored. We are a Romanian company with a Moldavian founder, I should state that clearer or remove this. We now rewrite manually with a lawyer all the terms.
As for Fathom clone, we aren't you better just call it another privacy-focused web analytics than "Competitor Clone"
I mentioned on an earlier post you made about being a "fathom clone"as well. I think the message is that you need to differentiate somehow in your value proposition because at present it will lose that privacy-first battle against the big players like Fathom and Plausible.
Thanks, we'll have to find one more selling point :)
It's not just about the selling point, it's about the story you sell and the design. Rethink your privacy aware analytics without looking at competitors, write it in your own words and then design the page around that.
Asking me to tune down my initial feeling won't help you against the feeling of all those others that come onto your website and never share their feedback but just leave.
I explicitly mentioned specific elements that stand out that are heavily inspired by Fathom. You can do something with it, differentiate as @MrJustinF says, or stick to whatever strategy you have in competing as a clone, hoping for the best.

It's called thread hijacking. You should not do it.
But it's not a big deal. Just start a new thread and you'll be OK, I'll jump to it and leave my review. I'm sure many will do it too :)
Congratulations on your launch! I'll be waiting for your post.
Thank you @Fabri I'm deleting my hijacking 🤣

Most probably you’re confusing it with minification.
The tracking code can be seen at: https://onduis.com/js/script.js
The tracking code is minified (not obfuscated) using Webpack (see: https://webpack.js.org/guides/production/). This means that we're removing unnecessary characters from the tracking code, like Comments, White spaces, New lines, etc. in order to reduce the bandwidth between your server and your users. This means lower bandwidth, faster load times, and increased performance.
Following resource: http://www.differencebetween.info/difference-between-minification-and-obfuscation - there's a nice table in this article, explaining the differences.
Regards,
