It Took Me a Decade to Find the Perfect Personal Website Stack – Ghost+Fathom
+1 on shynet! I use it for my personal website and my blog, and it's been working great.
I got it up and running with Podman, so no need to install and run the Docker daemon. I also fixed SQLite support [1], so no need for an additional DB server.
I analyzed available open-source web analytics tools [2] and AFAIK there is simpler solution for web analytics that doesn't involve a third party.

Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (October 2021)
I have a strong technical background and a passion for digital safety and privacy. Especially interested in trust & safety, privacy engineering, human-centered design, tech policy, and open source software. Looking for an internship or fellowship adjacent to trust & safety or privacy engineering.
Some of the projects I’m most proud of are Shynet [0], PrivacySpy [1], PolitiTweet [2], and a17t [3]. I co-instruct CS 106S [4] at Stanford, and I worked on cyber policy for a 2020 presidential campaign. I also work at the Stanford Internet Observatory on both research and technical infrastructure.
Location: NYC or SF Bay Area
Remote: yes but ideally no
Willing to relocate: no
Technologies: Python, Rust, JS, Java, Kubernetes, C, OSINT, web dev, and more.

Must-Have Features to Look for in a Blogging Platform

Using Analytics on My Website
I was also looking for server-side analytics, created my own, and now it's a product! The idea is that tracking can be done from both, a JS snippet (for easy integration) and an API. Both rely on fingerprinting and almost provide the same set of features. The API just lacks screen resolution. The method is GDPR (and CCPA and whatnot) compliant.

Product: https://pirsch.io
before this comes up again: Yes, we checked professionally with an external DPO and it was checked by some companies you've probably heard of externally.

Ask HN: Side project of more that $2k monthly revenue what's your project?
I'm building Pirsch Analytics [0], a privacy-friendly web analytics tool. I think it took the two of us ~1.5 years to get to $2000 MRR. Currently we're setting just above $4000 MRR.
It started as an experiment for my personal website and I was in the same position as you're right now. We were already working on a Notion like app to take notes, but didn't make any money and probably went into the wrong direction. As my prototype seemed to work quite well, we decided to turn it into a product.
My initial goal was to do server-side analytics without the downsides of parsing access logs, but of course we now also have a "regular" JS snippet integration.
You can learn more about our journey here [1] and on our blog [2]. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm building a new SaaS tool: open source analytics for the web
Not saying you shouldn’t or anything, but Plausible, Pirsch, and Umami are already privacy friendly open-source analytics.

Ask HN: Any alternatives to Google Analytics that don't require cookies?
Pirsch has been easy and great IME.

Ask HN: What’s your startup’s analytics setup? (2023)
If you use Google Analytics, you can get in a lot of trouble if you don't prompt the user with the cookie policy pop up. GDPR is a MF. I feel like it's bad UX to have that pop up, and I don't want to get in trouble, so I opt to use more bare-bones analytics and do a lot of custom logging myself.
The tool I use specifically is https://pirsch.io/, which is very privacy friendly and doesn't have any of the stalky type stuff that Google Analytics has as default. Using this, you don't need to have the GDPR compliance pop-up.

We built a $1M ARR open source SaaS
I also started a privacy-friendly analytics SaaS without looking at the market. Sometimes it's better to just get started. Otherwise you probably won't start doing anything, as there are existing products most of the time. In my case, I was looking for a Go (golang) solution that I could embed in my website, as a library so to speak, and just turned it into a product later as I was looking for a new project to work on.
We're now at $1500 MRR and growing. I'm also opposing the position of "just being against GA" now and we try to differentiate more. It's almost impossible to get anyone away from GA who does do performance marketing. So I don't quite see how Plausible or other privacy-friendly products are a replacement. But most websites that use GA just don't have to, because they don't rely so much on ads or personal data to get value.

We don’t use a staging environment
I use a somewhat similar approach for Pirsch [0]. It's build so that I can run it locally, basically as a fully fledged staging environment. Databases run in Docker, everything else is started using modd [1]. This has proven to be a good setup for quick iterations and testing. I can quickly run all tests on my laptop (Go and TypeScript) and even import data from production to see if the statistics are correct for real data. Of course, there are some things that need to be mocked, like automated backups, but so fare it turns out to work really well.
You can find more on our blog [2] if you would like to know more.
