  Pirsch is a drop-in, server-side, no-cookie, and privacy-focused analytics solution for Go.

  

Funny, because I've started a privacy-friendly analytics tool [0]. It really happened by "accident", as I initially tried to solve my own problem (analytics for my website without an ugly cookie-banner) and only later discovered there were many existing solutions.

Now that I went all in on it, I think there is much more to it than just having competing products that look similar at a first glance. There are a lot of deviding factors, like support, features, ... or in our case a unique design and good support for resellers (agencies) and technical people (server-side integration). We have been called copy-cats, but that doesn't mean it's true or different people won't find similar solutions for the same issue without knowing of each other, like it happens in science from time to time.

By deep tech, I mean getting to solve complex challenges through technology. It could be solving problems using machine learning, or a hardware product that's genuinely useful. I believe we're going to see a rise in hardware technology soon. After being in the phase of building a product to get upvotes on ProductHunt, I was trying to capture the essence of being an inventor by following a prescribed recipe, which wasn't satisfying. I ended up moving to a more business role and it's much better this way but we're barely building anything.

I'd like to play a role of an inventor and a builder of crazy technologies. Imagine https://www.noya.co/ or https://frame.work/. My only concern is that not being from a research background or a first world country could hinder my chance of doing that. Hope that made sense.
