I also really liked the open source version for side projects, maybe a community fork could exist to fill the gap?

- JackWritesCode 7y agoIt totally could! I would suggest listening to https://fathom.transistor.fm/episodes/the-open-source-dilemma https://fathom.transistor.fm/episodes/the-open-source-dilemm... too (published 10 days ago) as that'll give insight into our plans.
- tedivm 7y agoThe biggest problem with the open source version is that it's written in Go and there aren't that many people with both the skills and the time to maintain it, let alone expand it. It might be easier for a group of people to get together and build out a privacy centric open source project from scratch (something I'd be interested in).
- JackWritesCode 7y agoFantastic idea! Don't wait for someone to start it, start it yourself! We're still going to be updating the OS version of Fathom but I 100% support anybody creating another privacy-focused analytics platform. Additional alternatives to Google Analytics are great! Good luck :)
