Piwik/Matomo is a popular tool in the same space. How would you compare Ackee to Matomo (tech aside)?

Piwik/Matomo is more like Google Analytics in the way it works and what you can do with it. Ackee will never be a replacement if you need full-featured marketing analytics with tons of options and insights. Ackee tries to be less. Lightweight, easy to install and with a good balance between analytics and privacy.
What about vs. the old perl script, awstats? I'm still using that, amazingly, after like 15 years. It does the basics fairly well, if a little ugly. I'm always looking for new cool stuff though.
Log file analytics does not work with Javascript apps.
True, but log file analytics work despite JavaScript being disabled in the browser.
