mapzy VS fugu

I haven an open-source app (it's a store finder) that also uses Docker and Redis. Have a look at the GitHub repo, maybe there's something to help you there in my setup?

Mapzy is a store finder, and like Fugu it focuses on simplicity. Again, I've created it because the store finders out there were either ugly, too complex and/or expensive, and not privacy-focused. Read more on mapzy.io

If you're interested in the code, have a look at location_imports_controller.rb, location_import.rb, and batch_geocode_worker.rb.

I contribute to Our World In Data [0] and some of the Rails repos. I also run my own open source projects [1][2].

I've just recently started doing it, and I only put in a few hours each week. Slow and steady wins the race. My motivation is three-fold: First, it's gratifying to give something back to software I love using for free. Second, I learn a lot. Third, if I ever want to work with one of the companies who are stewarding these repos, it gives me a leg up in the application process.

I've been trying out Jekyll for a new side project's static website and of course added my favorite CSS framework, Tailwind, into the mix. However, after adding Tailwind with PostCSS I began to see very slow build times. Generating the site went from less than a second to more than 30 seconds. Waiting this long to see every change you do makes working with Jekyll impossible.

Taking this opportunity to tell you about my open-source side project: I've built a very simple event-based analytics solution some time ago. You can simply host it yourself and track basic events. It's not possible to track any personal information, not even IP: https://github.com/shafy/fugu

Fugu (code) provides simple, privacy-friendly, open source and self-hostable product analytics. While many tools claim to be Google Analytics alternatives, one of the things Fugu really gets right is properly doing "product analytics" – Going beyond simple view tracking to help you figure out how users are using your (web) software.

Here’s a project of mine that’s configured for Gitpod if anybody wants to use it.

I’m the creator of Fugu, which is a privacy-first alternative to Mixpanel/Amplitude. It focuses on simplicity with a very restricted feature set, and is open-source and self-hostable for free. I offer also a hosted version that is paid.

If you track Personally Identifable Information, such as IP addresses or emails, yes. If you track completely anonymously, then no. Of course, this limits what kind of anylses you can do (e.g. cohort-based analyses will be impossible). But I would also wager that you don't really need that, especially if you're a small startup. You can have a look at my open-source, self-hostable Mixpanel alternative if you are interested: https://github.com/shafy/fugu

You can have a look at my .gitpod.yml config file at one of my open source apps, Fugu, for inspiration.

Fugu is a product analytics tool that focuses on privacy and simplicity. Think of it as an alternative to Mixpanel or amplitude. I've created it because I couldn't find a good event-based analytics tool that has these two requirements. Read more on https://fugu.lol
