June 8, 2022 Removing Google Analytics

We stopped using Google Analytics to track our visitors, and we have been doing so for a few weeks now, so the statistics shown in the "Website" section was not representative of our real number of visitors.

That's why today we decided to remove the Google Analytics integration from IndieHacker.

    how do you analyse your visitors traffic and conventions?

    1. 1

      Since Google Analytics has been blocked by many ad blockers, it is not really precise anymore. Instead, I track the account creations and upgrades (to paid customers) by sending events to Amplitude.

      Of course, this doesn't show me when there is a spike in visitors on my website (if someone mention PDFShift on their highly frequented blog or influencer on Twitter), but if they don't convert, the result will be the same.

    Congrats! Just checked out your product, slick work.

    Did you use any tool for creating your API docs or it is custom made?

        Nice, thanks @cnicodeme.

        I see that you use Markdown to write it, does it get too much of a hassle compared to generating it with swagger or openapi file. would be nice to know your experience.

          No, I'm used to write in Markdown so it was easy to implement for me.

About

PDFShift exists because I wanted a simple and efficient way to generate PDF documents (mostly invoices that would be sent by email) and there was no clean existing solutions.
