¨I love deploying everything to AWS because i love wasting time¨ 🤣🤣🤣

Some good alternatives mentioned from people in the comment (thank you awesome community) - Plausible - plausible.io/ - Matomo - matomo.org/ - Umami - umami.is/ - Mixpanel - mixpanel.com/

Plausible is also a popular alternative which is self hostable.

Your site is amazing, good-looking, and well-designed. I think it will be more comfortable for users if you change the color of the "Get Started Now" button from red to light green (the same color as your logo). I think the red color may confuse the users that it feels like a dangerous button.

What library you used for your cookie banner? Thanks!

so how to set up self-hosted matomo?

the google tag manager consent configuration/mode will help a lot regarding the cookie issue.

I have this same exact problem and this video was super useful. I really love these kind of utility "no hype" videos that are just "hey this is my advice as a solo dev" Thanks!

I see your processed captions "Huevos al albañil | La capital" and I can tell you are a man of culture :p I'm curious, do you watch his content regularly or just did it for testing?

thanks for video! What do you use for logging?

hey G I just checked the website, the image with ".scale-150" is causing overflow and a scroll bar on the body

would caching not affect those logs though? Good solution if all you care about is page views. Any other data such as events or conversion actions require a more in depth solution.

funny i did the same logging solution as u did in the middleware :D I have my portoflio website build on next js and for its content I also build a headless cms. So in the headless cms dashboard i wanted to check how many unique users and which pages were getting more requests from the portfolio (content consumer) site :) (i have a logic to save the loggs over my db). But yeah middleware kinda works for simple stuff like that.

Hey Cody! I am completely new to stripe and I was wondering how you are selling and keeping track of your user's credit? Could you please make a video on that?

Nice, in one of my apps im using 'party town' to run the analytics script in a service worker, kinda cool.

Does vercel also have analytics? I guess they have for server monitoring logs not sure if they also have for data logs.

It will be really helpfull if u make a video how to add logs to aws 2 cloudfront

Im not primarly a developer, im actully a devops guy, who have lots of experience in tooling, scripting, infrastructure, etc. But would love to learn React. Do you have any longer form of education content available or could consider making it? :) Let's say i want to create a pokedex, or a simple portfolio page.

im using vercel analytics its pretty cool and simple

Any sensible dev is going to have a retention period set on CW logs, usually 2 weeks to a month, so this approach will only allow you to query logs and hack together analytics from the previous few weeks. Maybe this is good enough for you but long term analytics are usually important to give you a bigger image of what is happening

How u deploy your next, aws amplify?

Not sure why is this all needed, isn’t the new GA4 with its IP anonymization enough?

"I like deploying everything to AWS because I like wasting time" 2:03 that is hilarious

why are other services allowed to track user's data without setting up the consent? is it because google analytics collect more data than those services?

I use mixpanel

Because "I like wasting time" lmaooo

"You're probably gonna laugh." Absolutely not. Simple and it works. +1

The site still working?

You said you’d use Remix 😔

Are you actually certain that your "new" approach is GDPR compliant? all type of analytics/tracking, even if it uses Google Analytics or something else requires you to ask for consent and your consent needs to explain exactly what type of data you are tracking and for what it's used for. The lawyers from a big company in a current project required us to do it even if there is no user data at all involved and not even any ip addresses (because we go through our own server first)

Good job babe!!!

what how I track analytics now?

I use umami

First?

HAHAH you stole the idea from the hackathon. Well done, as expected of every "hackathon".

I have done little research and I'm going with Umami: very generous free tier, no cookies, easy to selfhost. (Matomo would be easy to selfhost too, but does not offer free tier)

For some reason my comment got deleted uhh (maybe because it's a link?) But "umami" is also a good alternative to Google Analytics, one I really like.
