A month ago we posted about a project, Metric Mail, that was in development at the time (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1398876). Metric Mail is a service that generates simple Google Analytics reports as PDF and delivers them via email on a weekly basis. It is developed on Google App Engine in Python.<p>We just launched a first (hopefully) working version, which is exciting and scary at the same time.<p>What do you think? Any kind of feedback would be a great help for us, we'd love to hear from you.<p>http://getmetricmail.com<p>Thanks a lot in advance,
Tim & Chris
Interesting. How is this better than doing the following one time:<p>(1) Login to Google Analytics.<p>(2) Click 'View Reports' for the site of interest.<p>(3) In the lefthand menu under 'My Customizations', click 'email'.<p>(4) If you have one setup already, click its title to edit it. Otherwise, create one.<p>(5) Choose the report you want it to send you.<p>(6) From the Date Range/Schedule dropdown, select among Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Quarterly.<p>In other words, it appears to me that that this can all be done from within Google Analytics. Perhaps I'm wrong though?
Very easy to setup, I've signed up, so I'll be able to give you a bit more feedback once I get the first email... I do like how simple it is. Give me a list of profiles, I select the ones I wanna see.<p>Edit: Got my first email. I don't like the font, otherwise this is great. None of my sites are really so critical that I check analytics every day, so getting this once a week is perfect for me. I'll keep it for now.
I like it. Very easy to sign up. Previously I would log in periodically but it's easy to start getting compulsive about it.<p>I really really want Feedburner integration. Those are the two metrics I check.<p>I would prefer to receive these every 2 weeks or every month instead of every week.
