I literally did the same thing last night! A DO droplet hosting a statically-generated site composed of html generated from some markdown and sandwiched between some html headers, then served up by the Rocket[1] framework.
It's my first website, and I think the total size of the backend is something like 40 LoC. I've never had any kind of analytics (or needed them), but I thought it would be neat to see what was going on. It took me all of 20 minutes to sign up, add the single Plausible <script></script> line to my index files and headers, and there it was. As someone with literally no other web experience, I can't imagine it having been easier. The cost of my website is now a whole $12/mo instead of $6, and I agree that it feels kinda nice to support a service that seems to place value on privacy and openness.
