I've been working on something for the @plausible community:

Arbory: a native iOS companion app for Plausible Analytics.

No web wrapper. Real widgets. Built for the "glance at your traffic" moment.

- Cloud & self-hosted
- No subscriptions, only a one-time purchase
- Zero tracking SDKs

The site is live: https://arbory.io. The beta is coming soon.

It's all really new, so follow @arbory for updates!

New article: "Self-hosting Plausible broke my analytics"

After years on #PlausibleAnalytics I switched to self-hosting and sadly, I’m not exactly happy with the result.

Self-hosting Plausible broke my analytics

After years on Plausible I switched to self-hosting and discovered just how much they hold back from their open source version.

After I switched from Plausible Cloud to a self-hosted instance I noticed a LOT of bot traffic in my stats, which didn't use to be there before.

Look at the screenshot and guess when I switched to self-hosting Plausible...

Turns out that #PlausibleAnalytics only gives you basic bot filters on the open source version, you need to pay for the cloud version to get the "advanced" filtering.

That's super disappointing. Is that really how you want me to force to pay €290 per year?

It’s fine to lock some pro features to the cloud version, but this seems like a basic requirement for analytics software?

Technical news about AI, coding and all
Hhm now i have tried to host #PlausibleAnalytics on my #NixOS machine. But somehow the ports opened are listed as `OPEN` when i use `nmap` on localhost, but `CLOSED` but visible from other machines. What could that mean? Never experienced this before.
I quite fancy doing this using #PlausibleAnalytics: https://kpplaybook.com/resources/how-to-track-traffic-from-aio-featured-snippets-paa-results-ga4/ - essentially tracking hashes so I can better understand whatever inclusion in whatever AI SERP widgets are being nibbling away at site content.
I know that I can enable 'Hashed page paths' but this will likely pollute my stats with noise. Any ideas? @plausible #analytics

An update to Tally, my desktop app for Plausible Analytics, is incoming! Tally 3.2.1 refreshes the visuals a bit, and I really like the more subtle look with the header bar. This addresses some feedback that the old look was too bold.
