GA4 is a bloated mess. Trying to find a simple page view count feels like navigating a cockpit, and it likely violates GDPR by default.

We don’t need “data lakes” for a personal blog or a SaaS MVP. We need to know if anyone is reading, without selling their soul to an ad network.

“Data should be an asset, not a liability.” — The Internet

Rybbit is the open-source alternative. It gives you the metrics you actually care about—sessions, bounce rates, sources—without the surveillance capitalism baggage. It’s clean, fast, and features a frog.

Why it works

1. Self-hostable: docker-compose up -d and you own your data.
2. Session Replays: Watch exactly how users rage-click on your broken buttons.
3. No Cookie Banners: It’s compliant by design. No more annoying pop-ups.

Switch to Rybbit, or keep pretending you understand your GA4 dashboard.
