Categories:
Insights is a privacy-focused web analytics platform for developers that enables tracking of page views and custom events without using cookies or collecting personal data.
🚀 Overview
Insights is a simple yet powerful web analytics tool designed specifically for developers building client-side web applications. It allows tracking of page views, user interactions, and custom events while fully anonymizing data—no cookies, no IP addresses, no personal information stored—making it inherently GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant without the need for cookie banners.
The project solves the common dilemma faced by developers: obtaining valuable insights into user behavior without compromising user privacy or dealing with complex consent mechanisms required by traditional tools like Google Analytics.
It is built for developers working with modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, and Vue. Indie makers, small teams, and anyone deploying web apps who prioritize performance and privacy will find it ideal.
Freelance developers Anthony and Henrique created Insights because they were unhappy with existing analytics solutions that forced trade-offs between functionality and privacy. They wanted a tool they could confidently integrate into their own products.
