Hey, author here (one of 2).
Whoa, I did not expect to see Fathom show up on Hacker News. It's very early but our plan is indeed to go down a similar road as Matomo, albeit more opinionated. Hopefully resulting in a simpler product in the long run.
I feel it's important to point out out that with Fathom, no personal information is tracked (or stored), at all. Only daily and hourly aggregates are stored on the server.
And yes, the demo should not require you to enter credentials. The simple reason is that I haven't gotten to polishing that experience just yet. Sorry.
- ghostbrainalpha 8y agoI love where you are going with this, I think this would be useful for a lot of people in marketing where Google Analytics is too much. But are you concerned that GA will come out with an "overview panel" for dummies, that cuts into your appeal? Or do you have a plan to stay ahead if GA comes out with a view like this?
- dvko 8y agoThanks! We're not too concerned about that too be honest, we'll still be open-source with the ability to self-host after all. Something that Google Analytics will never offer. Given the current state of Google Analytics, staying ahead in terms of simplicity shouldn't be an issue for a long, long time.

So long as credentials are required, it may be wise to change demo@demo.com to demo@example.com: https://developers.google.com/style/examples https://developers.google.com/style/examples https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Example.com
