I just wanted to know if someone visited — so I built my own analytics
I build too many small projects. Some are half-finished ideas, some are landing pages, some are just “let’s see what happens” sites. Most don’t get traffic. But still — sometimes I want to know: Did anyone actually land here? GA always felt like overkill. Consent banners. Cookie hell. Pages of charts I never look at. And the alternatives? Either self-hosting pain, or SaaS tools that cost €12/month for sites that maybe get 8 visitors. So I built my own thing. It’s called Satsu. No cookies. No fingerprinting. No GDPR banners. Just a tiny snippet and a clean dashboard. It shows: pageviews top pages referrers devices rough location (just country) That’s it. Nothing more. No fluff. No upsell. Free. Why? Because I got tired of adding Google Analytics to every dumb idea I shipped. I just wanted to know if anyone showed up — without making users feel like they’re being watched.
