Ask HN: Best alternatives to Google Analytics in 2021?
I too wanted to preserve privacy and avoid a cookie banner for my blog. I ended up rolling a privacy preserving proxy via Cloudflare workers that forwards `pageview` events to Google Analytics. It's a single HTML tag to drop in and preserves the navigation and user flow reports on the GA side.
See https://github.com/rraval/zeroindexed/tree/master/packages/t...
The blog explains expanded motivation: https://zeroindexed.com/privacy

Ask HN: Is Counter.dev Down?
> Rather than what looks to be an unproven pet project of some developer. If nobody is paying for it, there are no guarantees of uptime or support.
It's pay what you want. The project is running for three years already, let's see how things go with time.
Apologies for the long downtime. The issue is being resolved, see here for updates:

Looking for a free Google Analytics alternative for my side projects
- counter.dev -> Something that I need but it has a lack of accuracy and very tiny functionality.

> Right, and being sessionStorage it's cleared on browser close, and the next time I visit I will be counted as another daily unique visitor right?
No! There are a few rudimentary mechanisms on top of each other if one of them fails as you described. The /track endpoint sets up http caching. So if sessionStorage fails, you still have that. Then there is also inspecting document.referrer. If it is the page you are already on, then it's definitely not a unique visit.
> (or why not just a cookie)
Because cookies are considered "bad". But technically basically just saving a boolean value on the cookie would not be worse from a privacy perspective than using sessionStorage for a boolean value.
> I personally would rather have the pages I visit use a self-hosted solution gather everything I do, instead of a third-party getting little data from many sites I use. If this script is used across many sites it can be checked server-side against my IP to get my usage. I can never verify what logs they keep and for how long.
That is a general problem with externally hosted services. You can audit the source code (https://github.com/ihucos/counter.dev) but there is not way to verify that my deployment is as stated. I heard a podcast once that web hosters could guarantee that a deployment is in a specific way and contains a specific code base revision. But such solutions unfortunately do not exist. If you really want to be sure self hosting is the way to go (but somewhat cumbersome)
