Since we must buy this program, maybe there could be larger screenshots and more detail about the features. Perhaps even a demo instance everyone could access (https://321analytics.com/analytics doesn't show any data).

Also, I'm intrigued about the way the program must be deployed. "Upload the app files on my hosting" doesn't mean much, except if I'm a PHP user who has one of those all-PHP hosting accounts. What about the database?

I'm sorry I forgot to answer on the second part of your reply. By default, the application uses SQLite. So if your host provides PHP and SQLite, you just upload the app files and the app creates the database and the structure automatically. If you want to use a MySQL database instead, there is a small config file where you can just enter your MySQL database access details. The app then sets everything up on its own again.

I saw empty demo pages as well. Turns out it tries to load a local /analytics.js file which my adblocker prevented.

Thanks for the feedback. That would be an explanation that adblocks block the analytics.js file - I didn't think of that. Let me quickly do some modifications - I hope that it doesn't get blocked anymore. Thanks for your help.

[magnus_b]

I made a few modifications to hopefully prevent this "adblocker-error". Would you be so kind to check again? Thanks.

[fiatjaf]

Yes, exactly that. Thanks!

[magnus_b]

Awesome! Does the demo work properly?

[fiatjaf]

Yes, it does, and it is beautful. I however found it a little too slow.

[magnus_b]

Awesome - thank you for this great feedback! It might be a little bit slow at the moment because I have been working on the whole site constantly today. Also the app does pull all the data in real-time so you always get the latest accurate metrics - which can take slightly longer compared to cached or estimated analytics data.

All issues should be solved now. Would be awesome if you were so kind to try again - everything should run fast and smooth now! Thank you very much for your patience.

[magnus_b]

Thank you for your feedback. I will add some bigger screenshots - thanks for this idea! The demo should be working however - if you go to the demo and click on "Traffic" for example there should be data. I just checked again and it works for me. Could you try again please? Thank you very much!

[magnus_b]

I did a few modifications - maybe it was an "adblocker" as well that prevented the demo to load for you. Would be so kind to try again? Thank you.

As a shameless self-promotion side-note, I have written https://trackingco.de/ too, which is kinda open-source too, but has a hosted version which is free while it's beta.

But mine is much simpler and has much less features, mostly because storage is not cheap and I wanted to optimize to it.

[magnus_b]

I will check it out :)
