I'm working on Dronygon, a map of cool drone flying locations.

Well I just put it live couple of days ago, now I'm just starting to post my own locations.

Had this idea when I wanted to take my drone out but didn't know where to go. And as a plus I really wanted to learn more about working with maps and geolocation for an upcoming project, so this was a perfect way to learn it and make something useful.

I recently removed Google Analytics from my websites and set up the self-hosted umami (https://umami.is/) analytics. One of the best things about it is how fast it opens, while GA is so laggy.


Is there something like umami, except it does collect valuable data about users? I would actually like self hosted analytics so that it's on my domain and effectively not blockable, and also to know valuable insights about them.


> valuable insights about them

An important question to ask yourself: _what_ insights?

Want to know which of your pages are popular? Server logs will tell you that.

Want to know how the users move across your website? Server logs can tell you that, albeit in a limited fashion.

Want to know where your users come from? Server logs.

For more advanced use-cases, you may need javascript on the frontend (which you can serve from your own domain, making it harder to block, but still needing to be GDPR compliant, if you serve to GDPR affected users).


Umami seems perfect! Thank you Ive been looking for something good other than GA to use on my clients WP site.


Can't tell from the demo - has ability to track 404s?


Yes, if you display a custom 404 page.


This is one of my favourite things about working from home. I can take a power nap in the afternoon and be so much more productive when I wake up!
