Heads-up to the few of you using Indielytics.link! I’m shutting it down soon, it’s purpose was to drive traffic to Simplytics.dev, which it did but not enough to justify costs

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 15/02/2025

Finally continued working on funnels again, I'm almost finished. But thought I would be here weeks ago... #BuildInPublic

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

Getting closer to the finish line, but this weekend is coming to an end. I'll have to pick it up next weekend. A lot of web analytics does funnels, but unlike other features, all do it a bit differently. You got any unique takes on it? #BuildInPublic

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

While working on funnels I realized Simplytics has gotten a need of better navigation, so I started work on that too. Which got kind of messy since funnels isn't finsihed. Also turns out comparing months of views to a few days of funnel data makes the conversions look very bad... #BuildInPublic

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Finally started work on funnels for Simplytics.dev! Almost finised on the backend, just need to add support for wildcard (*) routes. Currently working on the hard part, forntend design... Also, just reached 400 followers here on BlueSky! #BuildInPublic

To get more spread with word of mouth I just pushed one of the biggest changes so far to my web analytics: Simplytics.dev is now $1 per month! (previously $3/month) This of course also applies to existing users. More coming soon! #BuildInPublic

What's your take on free trials? I'm doing a 7 day one at simplytics.dev, but that may be too short. Feels like it can't prove it's worth in just 7 days. #BuildInPublic

Just finished the heatmap functionality and pushed it to www.simplytics.dev! Users can now see and save a heatmap of the views their website have gotten in the past year⏳ Which style do you prefer #BuildInPublic?

The heatmap is coming along nicely, only some polishing to do left🖌️ Would love input on the design! #BuildInPublic

Simplytics now supports tracking up to 12 different sites! Question is: Is it enough? A lot of indiemakers got a lot of projects on the backburner... #BuildInPublic

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 02/01/2025

Question for those of you using Notion: Would being able to connect your web analytics to Notion (allowing you to see you analytics in a notion graph) interest you? If so, please let me know. Just started getting into Notion's API docs. #BuildInPublic

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Working on session duration for www.simplytics.dev. I'm going to use a heartbeat function for this that sends a post to my endpoint. What is a reasonable granularity for this? How many seconds between each post? #BuildInPublic #SaaS #IndieHackers #analytics

Just shipped a new feature to my 100% free tool. Analyze you server access logs and see amount of views and visitors hour on hour. Check it out at www.indielytics.link/logs. Would love some testing since I haven't tried it out with all the server log types. #BuildInPublic #SaaS #IndieHacking

Posting my project indielytics.link on HN gave me some unwanted attention... luckily it was just what I needed to find a vulnerability #BuildInPublick #webdev #saas #IndieHacking

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Just launched Indielytics on ProductHunt! www.producthunt.com/posts/indiel... Also the most visits I have ever gotten from a luanch so far! #BuildInPublic

Just launched the most basic web analytics to ever exists: www.indielytics.link. The twist: All analytics are public for everyone to see, theres no sign-up and no paid plans. Adding Indielytics to your website also means a free backlink ;) Perfect for micro projects by #BuildInPublic

Suddenly got that itch I'm building the first free, no-login, cookieless and public only web analytics. Made for the #BuildInpublic community! Super simple tool. Only views and visitors for the past 10 days. The perfect start for a builder just starting out and wanting to display their progress.

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Am I going crazy? Why can’t I figure out how to set a div do be at the bottom of a page? 🤯 Gotta work with both pages that don’t have enough elements to cover the whole viewport and long pages that span out of the viewport. #indiehacking #buildinpublic

Frost @ Indy.Blue @avfrosta.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Just pushed a update to www.simplytics.dev. It now supports tracking multiple websites from one account. + users that set their analytics to public gets a backlink to their website. That's all for this weekend, what did you work on? #BuildInPublic

When PostHog themselves likes your post doing research for your own alternative 🤩 While I’m currently not using their products I can’t think of a company I’d rather go back to when the time is right. Pricing doesn’t get more fair and open than at @posthog.com #BuildInPublic

#BuildInPublic I decided to go from one time payments to monthly subscriptions, and I hate it. A few weeks ago I launched Simplytics.dev. It's a cookie-less web analytics similar to Plausible. After a few days I got my first customer and started working on feedback. All was good...

www.simplytics.dev now got backend support for sessions, bounce rate and current live page visitors! Just a matter of implementing it on the front-end. Never had any luck with using AI when it comes to design. Anyone got any recommendations? #buildinpublic
