And pardon my thoughts but: if you say "I built Analytics for my Ghost blog" I come expect at hacker news "function and code". What I see there is "I built Analytics for your Ghost blog to pay for" aka advertising for a paid service. Its great, yes, but the headline feels ... wrong?
Don't worry if you don't get much positive feedback here -- this seems like the kind of functionality that doesn't impress the HN crowd, but could become very popular among more often less-technical, actual Ghost users, quietly making you lots of money if marketed/advertised properly.
The writing style reminds me of /r/dogecoin; that's probably not the vibe you're going for. I'm viewing this on a 20+ inch monitor, and it's clipping on the right side. You might want to limit the max-width and center your content.
made me laugh! wow really? I just try to explain the best way I can but no bad intention.
Sorry for the issues and thanks for reporting, I will investigate it and fix
Looks neat, kinda what I expected from the Ghost Dashboard that was always on the roadmap and the Kickstarter pictures back in the days. It never got built apparently.
Or just configure https://www.awstats.org/ to parse your server side logs. It's one of those things that worked for the past 18 years.
EDIT: server side logs have serious advantages: no tracking cookies needed, so no cookie consent needed. Once the parsing done, the actual logs can be purged, so GDPR compliance is fine. It's not fancy, that's true, but it gives you quite a nice overview; enough for most blogs out there.
You are right but in this way, comparing to Ghostboard, you will get only analytics about visits (page, device, time, etc.) and missing some specific-blog data like posts per month, SEO, content performance, etc.
By the way... would be cool to see your own stats for this site, assuming it is a Ghost site! :-) . That would be a great lead magnet as well! (like demo.baremetrics.com is for Baremetrics)
Excellent! I've been looking for something really simple and straight forward like this. A ton of analytics suites out there are geared towards engagement, user tracking, get-in-the-funnel type BS, but this looks really focused on what you would want to measure in a blog!
I personally use clicky.com and get similar analytics. I guess this is good, but I don't think it justifies the price considering clicky.com gives you in some cases, more information (ip addresses, heatmaps of where users click, time spent, etc.)
Two Questions:
1. Do I understand this correctly, it works by inserting a tracking pixel in the html rendered by the blog?
2. Does it have GDPR Compliance? If yes, how?
1 - Just pasting a line in your Ghost admin > Code Injection
2 - Yes, basically: don't use cookies, don't get personal data or identify personally each visitor and all IPs are anonym (last octet removed).
Yeah Analytics it's free and get a lot of features. Also cookies.
But if you are looking for blog-specific analytics (posts, content performance, SEO, posts per month, words per post, best time to post, etc etc), without cookies (forget to add opt-in and opt-out) and 100% GDPR compliant, then you can try for free Ghostboard
