Piwik is an open source GA alternative [0]. It doesn't share many of the goals of Fair Analytics. I also don't see much actual analytics in Fair Analytics, just data collection.

- rubyfan 9y agoAgreed, FA looks like raw material compared to piwik. There's a lot of components needed to build a full solution. You need browser capture, data sink, backend aggregation, dashboards, adhoc query capability, etc...
- kasbah 9y agoYes, and it's available on https://sandstorm.io https://sandstorm.io so you don't have to host it yourself either. I actually much prefer the Piwik interface, I don't need to dig through masses of menu options to find the data I actually care about. Not helping the Google panopticon is a bonus.
- greenhouse_gas 9y agoThe thing with piwik is that it's 1. Has a large footprint (won't run on tiny instances) 2. Relies on blockable user side JS. Is there something like that that just analyzes server logs?
- extra88 9y agoBack when we walked 5 miles uphill both ways to get to school, server log analysis was all there was. I think AWStats [0] was the most prominent. But Piwik can use methods other than JavaScript in the browser, including importing server-side logs [1].
