We built a privacy-first analytics tool with a built-in AI consultant

Hey Indie Hackers,

As founders, we all need to know what's happening on our websites. But I found myself frustrated with the current state of web analytics. Traditional tools are either privacy nightmares (heavy cookies, PII storage), overly complex dashboards that require a certification to understand, or constantly polluted by bot traffic and referrer spam that ruins the data.

So, I built Alternytics.

My goal was to create an analytics platform that is completely secure by design, keeps the data impeccably clean, and actually translates metrics into a clear business strategy for non-technical founders.

Here is what makes it different:

🛡️ Radical Privacy & Transparency: Alternytics uses zero cookies, zero local storage, and zero cross-site tracking. To track unique visitors without storing raw IP addresses, we use a daily-rotating salted cryptographic hash. Because security and trust are everything, I actually made our core ingestion tracker available on a public GitHub repo so DPOs and developers can audit our anonymization process themselves.

🤖 The AI Executive Consultant: Instead of making you dig through complex charts, Alternytics has a built-in AI that reads your data and generates a jargon-free, strategic audit in plain English (or French). It tells you exactly what your human growth rate is, what your dominant acquisition channels are, and gives you 2-3 concrete, actionable recommendations based on your actual conversions.

🛑 Server-Side Anti-Bot Shield: Data is only useful if it's accurate. We built a strict server-side shield with speed traps and referrer blacklists to silently drop crawlers and spam before they ever reach your dashboard.

I am sharing this here because I would love to get feedback from this community. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the product or the architecture!
