Heads-up to the few of you using Indielytics.link!

Iโ€™m shutting it down soon, itโ€™s purpose was to drive traffic to Simplytics.dev, which it did but not enough to justify costs

Finally continued working on funnels again, I'm almost finished. But thought I would be here weeks ago...

Getting closer to the finish line, but this weekend is coming to an end. I'll have to pick it up next weekend.

A lot of web analytics does funnels, but unlike other features, all do it a bit differently. You got any unique takes on it?

While working on funnels I realized Simplytics has gotten a need of better navigation, so I started work on that too.

Which got kind of messy since funnels isn't finsihed.

Also turns out comparing months of views to a few days of funnel data makes the conversions look very bad...

Appreciate the feedback! It may be my English that is the problem, but what card do you mean?

18.01.2025 15:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think thats always going to be a problem, but at the same time it's hard to build and audience in a indie hacking community without actually building anything

Most probable scenario is that someone has already done this or thought of it and realized it was a bad idea.

But if you really got that golden idea then get maybe get halfway done before you start building in public, that way If someone decides to copy you they will have to be 2x faster than you

Continuing improvement at Simplytics.dev as always, just adjusted the pricing $1 / month web analytics!

To get more spread with word of mouth I just pushed one of the biggest changes so far to my web analytics:

Simplytics.dev is now $1 per month! (previously $3/month)

This of course also applies to existing users. More coming soon! #BuildInPublic

Thatโ€™s a good idea, offering a trial that aligns with the most used snapshot

What's your take on free trials?

I'm doing a 7 day one at simplytics.dev, but that may be too short.

Feels like it can't prove it's worth in just 7 days. #BuildInPublic

Thanks a lot for trying it out, since Iโ€™m not planning on doing much for for Indielytics I have now made it open source, can be found on GitHub.

Simplytics got my full focus now, let me know if you try it out or got any suggestions

Currently adding Google OAuth to Simplytics, the only option atm is GitHub.

What OAuth options do you have / think are necessary?

Just finished the heatmap functionality and pushed it to www.simplytics.dev!

Users can now see and save a heatmap of the views their website have gotten in the past yearโณ

Which style do you prefer #BuildInPublic?
