  • Fathom Analytics

    Fathom Lite. Simple, privacy-focused website analytics. Built with Golang & Preact.

    • You don't need to build your own, there are other analytics packages out they that don't send your users' data to Google. Look at https://usefathom.com/

  • Open Web Analytics

    Official repository for Open Web Analytics which is an open source alternative to commercial tools such as Google Analytics. Stay in control of the data you collect about the use of your website or app. Please consider sponsoring this project.

    • I thought the old self-hosted version was available on github. See how http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ does it.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
