This one has been in the pipeline for a bit too long: the Globe View is now live in Vemetric! 🥳 It let's you see from where people visit your website and product. Either live or for a specific time frame.

honestly, the process of creating videos with Codex + the Remotion plugin by pointing to your code base so it knows how your UI looks & feels is so awesome can't wait to show you the final result and share some insights how I'm currently running my video creation process

this espresso machine is easily one of my best investments so far in 2026 after trying a few different beans and experiments, I‘m super happy with how my daily coffee tastes 1/2

On the marketing side I spent some time in creating a new Hero section for Vemetric's landing page! It's the first step in making Vemetric's positioning clearer and making the LP a clean and smooth experience for people to learn about what it is about and what they can expect

My main focus in May was on the new Globe view. As the perfectionist as I am it costs me a lot of time and I'm still not finished. But I have to admit that I'm still super busy with my freelancing project on the side and I'm happy with what I've already achieved with the Globe.

when the globe is constantly rotating, I stop it while changing the theme, so the transition is still smooth 😄

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 29/05/2026

now showing notifications when new users join on the globe clicking them will focus the user on the globe ✌️

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 28/05/2026

I'm ensuring that the globe experience on Vemetric will be suuuper smooth 🤌 again it's taking me longer than I would have liked, but it will be worth it :D

since today, Vemetric has its first customer on the 500k events plan! 🥳 (an existing user upgraded his plan) that's a huge milestone and I'm very proud to serve users with so much traffic :D

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 21/05/2026

making sure the markers on the globe overlap each other correctly, depending on the current rotation and angle you look at them

the hard question with a new MacBook is if you should put stickers on the clean plate or not 😬

got myself a new coffee machine a few weeks ago and oh boy I‘m enjoying it a lot :D it’s my first espresso machine, and my first time using ground coffee .. so a whole new world opened up 😬

020

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 13/05/2026

nice what a little HN comment can do :) you can see the live results here: dub.sh/FfJP8Of not the biggest impact yet, but it's always about spreading the word and getting more eyes on your product 🫡

It was about time to add proper Uptime Monitoring + a Public Status page for Vemetric :D Powered by phare.io 🙌

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 11/05/2026

I already wanted to rework Vemetric's landing page for some time, and last week I got a push to tackle it so there you go, I just released a new Hero Section for Vemetric's LP :D happy for any kind of feedback, especially regarding the new copy

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 06/05/2026

the playground got a fresh new coat ✌️ what an annoying type of work 😅 but I‘m happy with the outcome :D

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 01/05/2026

I did a thing :) My M1 Pro served me soo well in the past 5 years, an incredible machine .. but I experienced some friction recently, especially when running multiple projects and tasks simultaneously so it's time for an upgrade 🚀

yesterday I did it, after >350 days I purposefully let my posting streak end, because I'm currently in the last days of my parental leave, taking a break from building, and don't have much to say now Typefully is even so cute and let me repair my streak, they won't even tell anyone :) 1/2

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 23/03/2026

let the smart home action continue 😈

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 19/03/2026

time to make my home a bit more smart and I‘m starting with making my existing lights smart + dimmable :D I don’t have much experience with these things but together with ChatGPT it’s a nice project and I‘m learning a lot!

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 18/03/2026

small improvement for empty states in Vemetric: they directly let you clear filters or change the selected timeframe

today is an intentional no-work monday I only have two weeks of paternity leave left with my little daughter and I try to recharge my batteries and enjoy the time off started the day playing and soaking up the moments with my daughter and now I‘m at the gym lifting weights 💪

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 12/03/2026

I've used one Codex chat for over 3 weeks to create the Vemetric API I really enjoy these long-running chats about one topic, so I can get as much value from the existing context as possible Codex does a good job there with auto-compaction as well!

000

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 12/03/2026

while I'm working a lot less on snappify compared to the previous years, I still treat it as a product that is used by many (paying) users, and I want them to have a great experience 1/3

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 12/03/2026

you can feel the real power of open source when people genuinely help you with their contributions! recently there's been more activity again for Vemetric, also on our Discord server, where people also volunteer and help each other, which is so awesome 🫶

041

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 11/03/2026

The Vemetric REST API is live! 🥳 It opens up the way for programmatic integrations with your analytics data + using it to talk about it with your agents (which will get even easier with the upcoming CLI + MCP)

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 10/03/2026

we invested into the safety of out kids 👌

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 10/03/2026

getting feedback like this is what fuels my motivation to deliver an outstanding product experience 🫶

being able to convince 25 people / organizations to pay for my product makes me proud and confident that I'm able to convince many more!

just saw the we crossed 100 PRs for Vemetric :)

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 05/03/2026

Vemetric's API Docs are being automatically generated for every endpoint using OpenAPI Sometimes I miss not having FumaDocs in my toolbelt, but I'd also miss the incredible outcome from Astro with almost zero JS

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 03/03/2026

I'm posting every day for 323 days (excluding weekends) 😳 building in public and posting regularly is something I enjoy, but I don't feel like posting something every day still, I'm in fear that if I stop, I'll let the habit slip completely :/

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 02/03/2026

it's the second of the month, and we already got a new customer on board for Vemetric 💪 we're on a little streak lately :D

I needed to scratch an itch 😅 haven’t played a sidescroller in years, so I picked up the latest super mario bros :D already played through some levels and so far the level design is really good 👌

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 25/02/2026

first time I'm asking the Discord community what the next big feature of Vemetric should be personally, I'd also love to see Mobile Apps for Vemetric with Widgets + Push Notifications :D

121

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 24/02/2026

already had to add a marquee effect because we have too many logos 🙃

120

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 23/02/2026

behind every customer logo on the Vemetric hero section, there's now a published customer story feeling honored to have them onboard and provide them with a great analytics platform 🫡

040

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 18/02/2026

seems like this companion domain is paying off 😅 some people tend to misspell it as Vemetricsss .. and this domain redirects them to our real one :D

010

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 17/02/2026

I had this feature in the backlog, but it was prioritized quite low yesterday a user requested it - for my kanban board, it means that the ticket gets a huge priority boost :) it's now possible to see from which cities your users are coming from + filter by specific cities 🥳

030

Dominik Sumer @dominiksumer.com · 11/02/2026

that’s a good fit! :D really enjoyed the meetup yesterday, the energy around OpenClaw is contagious and it’s so nice to see this energy coming from the heart of Vienna spreading into the rest of the world
