PostHog is developer-friendly, open-source product analytics
-
An alternativeto Matomo and Google Analytics
PostHog is open source product analytics, built for developers. Automate the collection of every event on your website or app, with no need to send data to 3rd parties. It's a 1 click to deploy on your own infrastructure, with full API/SQL access to the underlying data.

This looks like it's worth another look...

Automatically track every event on your website or app
Understand your users and how to improve your product
Deploy on your own infrastructure to keep control of your data.@girish @nebulon Perhaps useful for Analytics on Cloudron's actual usage?
-
@girish Yes please. It really is web analytics at a different level than most other systems.
-
@girish yes and Clickhouse would open up a world of possibilities too!!

I recall that this requires clickhouse. Looking into this again, it seems clickhouse it's quite easy to deploy.
Wow, this looks and sounds quite much as a winner to me.

I've been playing around with their hosted version and it's awesome! Would be a great addition to cloudron!
-
I would love to see it too!

Do people really get much use out of sophisticated web-analytics?
-
@LoudLemur I see this as more of a speed-optimisation and user experience analysis tool to use on developing webapps and more interactive websites, like ecommerce.

@LoudLemur it can be useful if you develop an app on mobile phones, and you want to know which features are used or not.
Lot of work goes into developing an app.
No point in having a feature if no-one uses it, alternatively it can point to need to evangelise that feature or improve its functionality or sign-posting in the app.I am interested in adding this kind of monitoring (w/o privacy intrusion). "Metrics" have a bad name if abused (as BigTech usually does) but limited light usage monitoring does aid the development process.
That said, I haven't yet added usage reporting to my app yet. It's on the TODO list.
EDIT : PostHog seems like a "non-trivial" packaging for Cloudron, unless someone can say otherwise.
Currently I'm looking at a simple event log in a back-end DB (but not FireBase). Nowhere near the functionality of PostHog, but I don't need their full functionality. -

Any more interest in this?
I'm pretty sure website hosting Cloudron users would find valuable.
Packaging difficult marks out of 10?
Handy for Cloudron Website Analytics, too, see how people are browsing the site and signing up.

Currently using the hosted version. It is excellent! Would definirely prefer to self-host on cloudron if that was an option.
-
I'd love to see a self-host on cloudron as well ! I've been using their online version for about 2 years now. And it's really great !

I'd love to see this in cloudron. Using the online version atm and love it. Finally something that could actually replace google analytics and be self-hosted. Amazing!
-
It would be great to have it. Tried the tool in cloud, at level of GA and great integration for AB test. To have it self hosted could be really helpful in terms of cookie law & gdpr .
