Dailytics
A beautiful analytics email (and Slack) report digest
This week Dailytics got accepted in the Slack App Directory. It took me some time and further discussions in the team in order to be fully compliant with their policies but finally got accepted.
I'm not sure what to expect and I prefer to keep expectations low, but right now, if you look for "Plausible", "Pirsch", "Fathom" or "Simple Analytics" there, Dailytics will be only option they offer!
Of course, for "Google Analytics" there are a few already.
Does anyone else have previous experience with this App Directory?
Let's see how this evolves.
Cheers!
Just launched the mayor update to the internal app (the one the users use). In terms of the product, we added a new concept: Spaces. It's basically your team, users can now invite other users to collaborate in their reports.
We also added a few (and fun) technical upgrades, like:
- Latest Ruby on Rails / Hotwire version
- Migrated to TailwindCSS (from vanilla CSS)
- Migrated to ERB templates engine (from Haml)
I wanted to add information regarding the new slack integration and... yes, I couldn't resist the idea of building everything again, from scratch.
This time, I used BridgetownRB with TailwindCSS (and a little bit of Stimulus JS) and based everything on a base design made by @Michael_Andreuzza a few weeks ago. Thanks for that!!!
I believe I'll be adding more detailed pages like "Plausible Analytics on Slack" in the near future to improve SEO.

Looks good. Double-check your section titled Dailytics is integrated with:
The logos are off-center.

Thanks for your feedback, Justin! Just our of curiosity... how many logos do you see? there should be 5, but a friend told me they wasn't seeing the first one (google analytics)

Congrats, looks great! I think it's a clean design and I like the use of the gradient. The green highlights compliment the purple logo nicely.
How long did the rebuild from scratch take? Was it faster than the initial version?-

Thanks for your feedback, Tobias! It took me like a week, coding 2 to 3 hours per day. Just to be clear: it's only the marketing site.
The most difficult part is, by far, the copy.

We just rolled out a highly requested feature: the Slack integration.
Now you can get your GA, Fathom, Plausible, Pirsch, or Simple Analytics report right in your Slack workspace.
We'll use the same widgets you created for your email report, but translated into the Slack blocks system.

You can see a quick preview here ;)
It's time to announce the integration of another big player in the privacy-friendly analytics field.
I'm super excited to say that, starting this week, you will be able to generate a daily/weekly/monthly report based on your Simple Analytics data (https://simpleanalytics.com).
To catch up, remember that Dailytics works well with Fathom, Plausible, Pirsch and Simple Analytics now (yes! it also works with GA).
A few weeks ago I posted here askig for Fathom Analytics users that wanted to try out the last integration (see previous update). I didn't get any Fathom user but I did get a very interesting comment: @m5blum reached to my introducing their product, Pirsch Analytics.
Pirsch is another privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics and I really liked their product, their vision, the team's attitude and - most importantly - their API. So I decided to build a new integration into Dailytics.
It's live already, so you are invited to try that out :)

Thank you Gustavo, it's a pleasure to work with you! :)
One year ago I started wondering about how could life be without Google. Google is everywhere! So I started by Google Analytics. I found many alternatives out there but there were only two really well done solutions: Plausible and Fathom.
Today, I can say that Dailytics works nicely with both of them :)

Hi Gustavo,
Interesting idea, do you have any customers yet?
I know that Google Analytics already sends a digest email every month, and I assume Plausible and Fathom also have some sort of digest email. Why would someone pay for Dailytics instead of using the native emails from the analytics platforms?-

Hey @XCS! Thank you for your comment. I currently have 7 paying customers.
Regarding your point, yes! Both of them offer a native weekly and monthly email report.Why could anyone be interested on Dailytics?
-
if you run a digital agency and you want to put your branding in the report and send it to your clients
-
if you want to get a more content focused report, including open graph images, titles and authors of your most visited content
-
if you are GA user and you want to get an html report instead of a pdf attached to a blank email
-
if you are a plausible or fathom user and want to get the report on a daily basis or you want to add custom sections, like “top content by category” or charts with traffic to specific sections.
Well, those are some of the reasons why I built it. I’d love your input here :)
Cheers!

Thanks, it makes sense to have a more standardized way of receiving digests across platforms. I also asked because I built a self-hosted analytics app and was wondering what kind of integration/API does Dailytics use to retrieve the needed data for the digest.

I’d be very interested in working on another integration.
I’d need an api to get the domains and the metrics. Filters are super important here!
You are more than welcome to email me to discuss it in detail ;)

A friend of mine a year ago or so built something similar. They've made email reports with analysis of unusual activity with AI model.
They've suspended the product for now but maybe that could be a nice idea for you to work with in the future. I can make an intro if it would be helpful for you.

Thank you @nickkimel! that sounds very interesting ;)

You can now set up to 3 different series (lines in the chart) and filter each of them by page path or source. You can visualise:
- the traffic from "Google", "Twitter", and "Newsletter"
- the traffic to "/search" compared to "/product/[0-9]*"
- the traffic to "/cart", "/payment" and "/thanks" (a funnel)
I recorded a demo here:
https://www.loom.com/share/ebab4f950914497eb98fadd38c7171d8
It's been something like 6 weeks since we discontinued the free plan. In that moment we had 120 users on that free plan and we moved them to a 30-day trial. From those 120 users, only 3 switched to a paying plan.
To be honest, I was expecting a higher number of activations, but it doesn't matter: having 3 people seeing the value of Dailytics was fair enough.
Well, today we've got a fourth paying customer and with a higher plan (Plan Studio). They are an Agency and will be sending reports from Dailytics to their clients, that's one of the main use cases of Dailytics so I'm super happy for that :)
After more than 4 years of providing a free service to more than 500 users, I have decided that the free plan is going to be discontinued today. You can imagine the amount of time, energy and money that I've invested in this project so I believe it's time to start looking at it more seriously.
I'm not going to lie - it would be amazing if you decide that Dailytics is valuable enough for you, your team or your customers and decide on a paid plan, but I'll totally understand if you decide to stop using Dailytics.

That is part of the email I sent yesterday to all active users. Let's see what happens now :)
