React hooks for analytics. This library adds some convenience methods when working with React & makes it a little easier to pass around the analytics instance while instrumenting your application.

I added a plugin for Simple analytics to make it easier for folks to integrate with additional marketing tools & add other custom logic to their analytics setup

https://getanalytics.io/plugins/simple-analytics/

import Analytics from 'analytics'
import simpleAnalyticsPlugin from 'analytics-plugin-simple-analytics'

const analytics = Analytics({
  app: 'awesome-app',
  plugins: [
    // Load simple analytics! 🎉
    simpleAnalyticsPlugin(),
  ]
})

Also launched on their docs site https://docs.simpleanalytics.com/install-simple-analytics-via-analytics-package 🎉

Everyday I've been tweeting out a link about the open source library and the different things you can do with it.

I'm thinking about starting a mailing list for releases too. Who knows just getting started!

Over the past 2 weekends I built a docs site for an open source project I have been working on.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/analytics

The site is using Gatsby + react + markdown to generate all the pages and using algolia for the snappy site search.
