I built a similar privacy focussed analytics inspired by Fathom:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sheshbabu&#x2F;freshlytics" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sheshbabu&#x2F;freshlytics</a><p>Privacy<p>* Cookies are not used<p>* Personally identifiable information (PII) is not collected<p>Dashboard<p>* Switch between multiple projects<p>* Slice the data within a date range<p>* See the pageview in different dimensions like page urls, referrers, browsers etc<p>Tracking<p>* Currently focuses on website pageview tracking<p>* Tracks visited page urls, referrers, browsers and browser versions<p>Projects<p>* Supports multiple projects<p>* Different projects can have different reporting timezones<p>Users<p>* Users can either be Admin or normal users<p>* Admins can create&#x2F;edit&#x2F;delete projects and other users<p>Written using TypeScript, React, Postgres (PipelineDB), Express.<p>Here are some screenshots: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sheshbabu&#x2F;freshlytics&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;docs&#x2F;screenshots.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sheshbabu&#x2F;freshlytics&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;docs&#x2F;sc...</a> :)

Ouch, this move and the plan to abandon the OSS part (discussed in the comments here) makes me uncomfortable about using Fathom.<p>The option to run my own instance if wanted was the main point for paying for their service. Because I don&#x27;t want to maintain an instance of Fathom myself now, but maybe later. Now potentially giving up the OSS version makes me reconsider alternatives to Fathom.<p>All these changes lately make me feel bad about their future and their grand promises on my users&#x27; privacy.

Has the open source version that&#x27;s actually usable on prem for privacy-conscious sites been completely shitcanned at this point? I haven&#x27;t seen or heard any updates at all about it and every link to it has been removed from the site.

There’s some negativity in this comment section, so I just wanted to say that I really like your product.<p>I’m glad you’re working on making it sustainable before spending more time on the open source version.

Curious... what your November costs vs September costs ended up being. Did vapor actually end up saving $$. It&#x27;s probably a better user experience I&#x27;d imagine.
