Hey everyone :) I’m Jamie, founder of GhostlyX. I built this because I was tired of analytics tools that are either invasive, bloated, or just hard to use. GhostlyX is different. No cookies, no trackers, no consent banners. Just simple, privacy-first analytics that show you what’s actually happening on your site. It takes less than a minute to install and you instantly get clear insights like visitors, top pages, and conversions without digging through clutter. Happy to answer any questions, hear feedback, or ideas on where to take this next.

Hi Jamie. How is this different than Google Analytics, Goatcounter, Matomo, Plausible, Fathom, Posthog, etc.? I think you are entering a very saturated industry, but I am not sure what I am looking at and what is the core differentiator is.
Maybe I should spend more time around the product. From what I can understand, you require a JavaScript based script to be embedded on the frontend which is just standard across all marketing analytics products.
Most marketing analytics platforms do not advertise themselves as "cookie-less," so I am not even sure what the contrast between cookie-based analytics and cookieless analytics is. My opinion is that the average developer do not give too much mind about cookies.
Finally a tool that doesnt track my website visitors like Joe Goldberg tracks his crushes:D
