Seems it's another cookie-less, privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative. This time from Germany! It's pretty cool that there's so much going on in this space, but is it really wise going into the market with seemingly the exact same features that Plausible, Simple Analytics, Fathom, etc. offer? Even Cloudflare recently entered the privacy-friendly analytics market with a free product, so it seems that market is getting really crowded. Then again, every (commercial) website probably needs such a solution, so maybe the market is big enough. I wonder though if these cookie-less solutions can give people the insights they need? You can do only very simple overall statistics and funnel analyses with this approach. Maybe that's enough for most websites though?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I understand I'm entering a crowded market, but Panelbear is still in the early stages, and I'm trying to understand what problems my customers have that I could solve / how much value can I bring to them. A crowded market also means more options for you as a customer. Specially when it comes to privacy-friendly tools, not only analytics, I'd argue that there's not enough options yet. I initially built it for myself, as I was not fully satisfied with the existing solutions. And I do intend to offer more features than what you currently see, but unfortunately my time is limited and it's going to take a while to bring Panelbear to the feature-level I'd like it to be :)
