Background Like a lot of my tech based rants, this was brought on by a recent Hacker News post. I won’t go into why the product listed there is a hollow faux FOSS rip-off. I won’t discuss how the ‘free’ analytics option, like many others are just hobby projects taking pot shots at other projects. Or how insanely overpriced most alternatives are. I will however discuss why and how I transitioned to using the awesome Goat Counter.
