Hah, I thought of that too when I saw the stats. Surely HN readers all have DNT enabled?! That said, I am now wondering what the numbers would have been like if we did not honor DNT...

Thanks! Can you elaborate a little bit on the use-cases where this would apply? I can get into the idea that tracking would ideally not rely on JavaScript, but the dashboard? Surely the administrator can enable JavaScript for their Fathom d

We hear you. This is pretty much top on the list of things to add in the (very) near future!

Thanks! 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 a

Hey, good to see you already running Fathom! Just wanted to add that you can also use Fathom with MySQL or SQLite if that's more your cup of tea. It supports those 3 database engines right now.

Hey, not yet but we're planning on setting up a public roadmap on Trello, like how JSFiddle does it. [1] https://trello.com/b/LakLkQBW/jsfiddle-roadmap

You're right - but that is also kind of the point. Personally I run an online business and I don't even come close to needing (or using) all the data that Google Analytics provides. I think that for your average "offline&quot

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

Hey, that's awesome, we plan not to disappoint. We'll be setting up a public roadmap over the next few weeks so your feedback while we built this would be very much appreciated!

We've been working on something that has yet to be added to this list, but I feel it's worth mentioning. It's a self-hosted OS alternative to Google Analytics, much like Matomo (formerly Piwik) but less focused on developers

I have been running a very unsexy business selling WordPress plugins for the last 5 years, averaging about $30K in revenue a month. Only expense is my time spent and a $5 Linode VPS that hosts my shop & update server.

Read up on finance, learn about assets vs liabilities. Understand buying vs renting before doing either. Keep monthly (recurring) expenses low. If you absolutely need a car, keep your ego in check and look at mileage & reliability. Thin

I switched from OSX to Linux a few months ago and had to find an alternative for 1Password. Pass has been great, I love its simplicity. Not having a browser add-on to retrieve passwords was feeling like a step back in terms of convenience t

Oh yes. I love being able to install uBlock on my phone! Wasn't sure if Mobile Chrome allowed for browser add-ons this but at least I was never able to find it.

I recently switched back to Firefox after years of using Chrome. Previously, the few times I had to fire up Firefox for development purposes it seemed sluggish to me. Not anymore. Firefox has been super responsive to me, using less memory t
