Glance Analytics

I built Glancelytics after getting completely frustrated with modern analytics. For most of my projects I just wanted to know: How many people visited? What pages did they read? Where did they come from? Instead, I ended up wrestling with GA4, giant consent banners, and tools that felt more like surveillance than simple analytics. It didn’t sit right with me as a developer or as a user who cares about privacy. Glancelytics is my attempt to fix that: a privacy‑first, cookieless analytics tool that gives you only the metrics that matter in a clean, fast dashboard. Under the hood it uses a daily, salted hash instead of cookies, so we never store raw IPs and don’t track people across sites, while still giving you accurate visitor counts. During the build, my approach evolved from “just ship a GA alternative” to “design something I’d actually feel good putting on my own sites” — simple setup, modern stack (Next.js, Neon, Upstash, Clerk, Vercel), and privacy‑by‑default baked into every decision. If you’re a developer, indie hacker, or small team who wants insight without creeping on your users, I’d love your feedback on this first version.
