andOTP VS Fathom Analytics

I love F-Droid and try to use apps from there whenever possible.

I did recently discover that andOTP is no longer maintained, though. I've switched to Aegis since.

https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP

I use andOTP[0] which auto-exports an encrypted backup to a local folder, which is then synced with Syncthing[1] to my NAS.

It's seamless and doesn't need an internet connection.

- AndOTP github project is archived in june 2022: https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP

I used FreeOTP before that, which is also fine. I switched because maintenance had been fairly uncommon and there were some minor issues bugging me, but it seems to have picked up again recently, and it's backed by Red Hat as an entity for better or for worse. andOTP is officially deprecated, so I recommend switching to either of those.

At the moment this works with encrypted backup files from andotp and aegis and it totally fullfills my lazyness needs. :)

I was happily using andOTP but seems like it has been unmaintained since June - https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP.

I wish F-Droid or Play Store had a feature like GitHub's 'Archived' to inform users.

You can use whatever 2FA you want, but you need to extract the secret key for it using some scripts. i did it a while ago and i have both blizzards and steams 2fa on Aegis on android, also works in KeepassXC. I think the 2fa app needs to have support for it but it works. https://github.com/andOTP/andOTP/wiki/Shared-secrets

I would switch to andOTP since it allows you to export the keys.

Fathom Analytics (paid)

A few apps that are a joy to use:

https://ia.net/writer for writing.

https://usecontrast.com/ for checking contrast.

https://sipapp.io/ for picking colors.

https://nova.app/ for editing code.

https://cleanshot.com/ for screenshots.

https://getpixelsnap.com/ for measuring elements on screen.

https://netnewswire.com/ for reading things via RSS.

https://panic.com/transmit/ for file transfers.

https://usefathom.com/ for web analytics.

https://balsamiq.com/ for wireframes.

What else?

There are many good, lightweight, and open-source alternatives to Google Analytics, such as Plausible, Matomo, Fathom, Simple Analytics, and so on. Many of these options are open-source, and can be self-hosted.

Fathom Analytics - https://usefathom.com/blog/import-data-from-google-analytics

Yes, you should absolutely not be using Google Analytics. They don't need more data, your users don't want to see cookie banners and most of you really don't need 99% of the data that you can filter through...

I can't recommend Fathom (https://usefathom.com) enough. They have a huge focus on privacy-first tracking. You don't need to show a cookie banner and you can still track events etc.

If you want $10 credit for signing up, use https://usefathom.com/james but otherwise, https://usefathom.com

Seriously, Google Analytics sucks. Use anything other than that.

Example: https://usefathom.com/ and june.so

We've got inspired by https://usefathom.com/ and https://plausible.io/ - plus there is some negative sentiment with *some* smaller players about DocuSign

I am in no way affiliated with fathom analytics (https://usefathom.com/) but I use it on some of my sites in order to understand (aggregate) user behaviour to improve the experience.
