Analytics Review

Umami Review: Open-source, privacy-focused Google Analytics alternative.

Umami fills the gap between Plausible (paid) and rolling your own analytics. Self-hosting is straightforward with Docker, and the UI is clean and fast. Less feature-rich than PostHog but much simpler to operate if you just need basic web stats.
