IndieAnalytics

IndieAnalytics is a comprehensive analytics tool that allows users to track their side hustles and collect waitlist emails as well as 'contact us' form submissions. The website provides access to raw data collected, giving users the ability to download it whenever they need. Additionally, IndieAnalytics offers feedback-driven development, meaning that user requests for new visualizations or features are personally reviewed and considered, rather than automatically grouped into feedback categories.

The tool is feature-packed with a easy to setup dashboard supporting a range of metrics, including basic metrics such as views and unique views, advanced metrics like engagement time, custom events, scroll depth, UTMs, and referrers, as well as demographics data such as operating system, device, browser, and location. The platform also supports multi-project functionality, allowing users to track multiple projects simultaneously. Overall, IndieAnalytics aims to provide indiehackers and early stage founders with a comprehensive and customizable analytics solution tailored to their specific needs.

Background: I like to build random sideprojects. Whenever I have a landing page built, I know I need to add telemetry, a waitlist, and a contact us form. However, I did not like registering to three different services to support the backend of each of these three needs. I also didn't like having to have three tabs open and switching between each one anytime I wanted to refresh and see if I had any new visitors, waitlist joiners, or messages. I also didn't like how complex the existing analytics dashboards are to set up in order to get basic charting of important metrics.

I built my own tool to do all of this to use with all of my projects. I then thought that perhaps this could benefit other indiehackers who have limited resources and really want to focus on launching their landing page and product, rather than building/setting up ancillary software.

As such, I am now releasing this product in hopes that others can benefit from it as well.

This is the first release and we currently have no users other than myself. Competitors would include Google Analytics, MixPanel, Tally, GetLaunchList, and many others.
