Simple, privacy-friendly product analytics - looking for early testers

Edit: Fugu has launched and you can create a free account on fugu.lol.

Hi all ๐Ÿ‘‹

I'm working on a simple, privacy-friendly and open-source product analytics service. I'm calling it Fugu ๐Ÿก. I've just recently started developing it, but the core ideas are:

  • Simple: Don't add too many features
  • Privacy-friendly: No tracking of personal info like IP (therefore GDPR compliant)
  • Open-source and self-hostable: The source code is open-source, and you can easily host it on your own for free. Only the managed version is paid.

Fugu is an alternative to services like Mixpanel and Posthog. Product analytics means it's an event-based tracking system (vs. view or page-based), ideal for web and mobile apps.

Planned features (for version 1.0)

  • Analyze events by event name
  • Segment events by custom properties
  • Conversion funnel analysis
  • Cohort analysis

I'm going to launch an early alpha version in 1-2 weeks, and I'm looking for volunteers who are ready to add it to their apps, start tracking and give me feedback. I promise to offer Fugu to all alpha testers for free for 1 year.

If you're interested, send me an email: canolcer@hey.com

Looking forward to any questions or feedback.

    I'm interested in your project and would love to participate in the alpha testing. I've read a lot about product analytics tools , but your idea is great and needed in the market. I also love that it is privacy-friendly and open-source. Please tell me more about the planned features for version 1.0. I'm particularly interested in conversion funnel analysis and cohort analysis. Your project has great potential, and I would love to help you test it. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon!

      Hey @ernadrey11 that sounds great! Fugu is live, and you can create a free account on fugu.lol, set it up with your app (see the Fugu docs) and then start tracking events for free. No credit card needed. If you like what you see, you can pay $9/month for the hosted version, or host it yourself.

      Let me know what you think!

      Cheers

    Hi ๐Ÿ‘‹

    Fugu sounds like a fantastic project! Your focus on simplicity, privacy, and open-source flexibility is refreshing. Have you considered integrating AI technologies for advanced insights, like predictive analytics or anomaly detection? It could add even more value for users analyzing event-based data. Best of luck with the alpha launchโ€”I'll share this with others who might be interested!
