Wrote about the hour or so I spent last night migrating my web analytics from #SimpleAnalytics to #Plausible
TL;DR Plausible is pretty good barring my one gripe for which you'll have to read the post :P

Took a little effort but I was able to import all my page views from #SimpleAnalytics into #Plausible. Found a JavaScript program that convert the Simple Analytics CSV into one suitable for Plausible, so I quickly rewrote it in Python and added support for importing location data which the original was missing. My Git server isn't open for registrations so you can send any patches to me via your text delivery medium of choice.

#Google vděčíme za začátek internetu a já třeba i za slušné umístění v soutěži Eurorebus někdy v roce 2002 😂 Každopádně už se to nějak přejídá. Končí Google Analytics 3 a než přecházet na GA4, tak už jsem rovnou zmigroval na #simpleanalytics. Pomalu si zvykám na vyhledávač #duckduckgo a založil si účet na @protonprivacy

I am beginning to hate Google Analytics 4 with a passion I thought I only had for Drupal. Overengineered, privacy invading, difficult to implement, difficult to use piece of crap. Simple Analytics is a total breath of fresh air in comparison.
The crowd-sourced difficulty ratings for my #Chainagram #WordPuzzle are created with data collected using the rather wonderful #SimpleAnalytics (https://www.simpleanalytics.com/). The best thing? As well as being simple to use it's totally anonymous, unlike #GoogleAnalytics.
Here's how it works: when you solve a puzzle, a number of anonymous events are triggered (https://docs.simpleanalytics.com/events). This includes how many additional checks you used (the same data is presented on page to the player).

Just made some changes 'under the hood' to my #WordGame #Chainagram (https://puzzletrail.games/puzzles/chainagram/). Nothing much visible to the player but I've started collecting a more complete set of stats in the hope of using them to provide a crowdsourced difficulty rating for each of the #puzzles. All stats are collected via #SimpleAnalytics (https://simpleanalytics.com/) so are completely anonymous and cookie-free. #WebDev #WebAnalytics
This is turning out to be the week of new choices: analytics for a #sveltekit app with #fathom, #piwik, #plausible or #simpleanalytics?
