Ask HN: What do you use for analytics for a statically generated website? (ycombinator.com)
I recently deployed a Hugo blog that I'm locally hosting. I would like to know roughly how much traffic it's getting (almost nothing except friends right now, but I still would like some data).Obviously I could use Google Analytics or something, but I would rather not introduce any kind of Google tracking to my site. Honestly I think I'd be happy enough with one of those "counter" things from the 90's.Does anyone here have anything?

The problem with User-Agent strings (nielsleenheer.com)

Despite the tremendous investment in database infrastructure in the last decades, data alone doesn’t drive value — applications, analytics, and machine learning models do. Extracting raw data from databases and leveraging it elsewhere transforms it into business value, actionable insights, and, thus, competitive advantage.
