Hey Graham,
Awesome, thanks so much for making Koko your pick of the week. Pretty stoked to see 2 things I worked on in a single podcast episode of yours (Koko Analytics & Fathom Analytics). 🙂
My pleasure Danny. If you’re interested, here’s my story of how I found Koko Analytics.
I was looking for a more privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. I tried various services, but many of them collected and presented far more data about visitors than I desired or needed. If anything, too much information was a turn off for my needs.
I stumbled across an article in Fast Company from early 2019 about some different privacy-focused website analytics platforms. One of these was Fathom, which I checked out specifically because the article mentioned your name (which I knew and respected from the Mailchimp for WordPress plugin. I don’t use MailChimp anymore but it was a great plugin)
Fathom looked great for my needs, and I was all set to sign-up with them when I checked out your website and saw that you had also been working on your own plugin that didn’t suffer my one quibble with Fathom: that it relies upon an external service.
So, Koko Analytics wins. Thanks for doing such a great job with it.
