I encourage efforts like this. Far too many sites pour their data into Google Analytics, giving Google far too much information about our browsing. In my opinion, even logging the IP addresses of visitors is risky with laws like the GDPR coming into force.
I decided to practice what I preach by rolling my own basic analytics for my site. I had a different set of requirements[0] than this person but I am comfortable with the results.
This only flaw I have found is that it has revealed that most of my blog posts get pathetically few hits[1].
