Show HN: Requesting feedback on my side-project chatteranalytics.com

I built this out of a desire for a simple tool to give insights on user interaction/usability without the need to define and track a ton of custom events for basic web interactions.<p>I started with a basic real-time stream of common events, used it in a few projects, and gained some valuable information from it.<p>If there's enough interest for this type of tool, I'll build it out and launch it.<p>The long term vision is to visualize individual user sessions.<p>Thanks!

That's a brilliant landing page; demonstrating the tool in-page is all the description anyone needs :)

Please consider changing the background and font combination. The "DISCOVER HOW PEOPLE INTERACT WITH YOUR WEBSITE" is very difficult to read and the light gray on darker gray text on the left is almost just as bad.<p>I'm using the latest version of Chrome on Windows 7 if that helps.

I appreciate the simplicity of "just paste a small javascript snippet", but for more secure sites I'd like to have some documentation on how to integrate this without sourcing third-party javascript from a page.

This is something that I've wanted for awhile. Even better would be recording session data your collecting and then giving a means to play it back so you can actually "see" the what the user does. Maybe using Selenium or something for the playback. This later feature would be killer for business users who would likely find the current event stream a bit intimidating.<p>I think your right though. Being able to watch 20ish user sessions for particular flows would really help you understand how to tweak things to improve conversion rates.

Looks pretty cool... I like the idea of the one-to-one analytics tool, since other tools don't seem to do this (that I know of, at least).<p>However, one quick design point is the "Discover how people interact with your website" header is extremely hard to read since it's basically black on gray. Not sure if this is just my monitor's brightness levels or browser (Firefox 4.0.1), but I would recommend changing that up to be easier to read.<p>Other than that, I'm looking forward to checking it out more!

This is really awesome. I just hacked together something similar for my website <i>yesterday</i> to show me guests / users activity on the site. Can't wait till you guys open it up, especially if there's an API to stream it on our own dashboards.<p>One note: after I filled out my info and clicked submit it kept the "what are you looking for" field on the page.<p>Another note: I included the referrer which I think is going to be pretty useful to know.

Why do I have to enable websockets on Firefox 4? Perhaps using a websocket library that is compatible with older browsers might be a good idea.

Nice idea and implementation. However my first thought after reading the title here and the domain name was that it was an analysis tool for Salesforce Chatter (<a href="http://www.salesforce.com/chatter/whatischatter/" rel="nofollow">http://www.salesforce.com/chatter/whatischatter/</a>). You may want to check if there are any trademark implications.

Heh, you're fetching some number of events from database and then grouping them. I've clicked a number of times on page, and on reload saw just this single event (x30 or something) instead of list of events.

I think GoSquared (<a href="http://gosquared.com" rel="nofollow">http://gosquared.com</a>) have something of this flavour of interaction as well.

Very useful tool. Especially with a large data set you can analyze where people are clicking and the most common paths through a design.

Wow, love the design and idea! I might have to use this in my next app!

not working with latest Chrome on mac

i am n00b in webdev, but i have a feeling this is pretty useful tool.
