I want to like you, but for me using GA nullifies every nice thing you say in https://mediacru.sh/serious

There is no excuse for not running your own: http://demo.piwik.org/

I'd volunteer to set it up for you on a virtual machine for free.


Okay, I understand that using Google Analytics when we're so pro-privacy is a bit of a weird choice.

We've realised that self-hosting our analytics might be a better choice. I've created an issue[1] to discuss this matter. Ideally what we'd want is something as close to GA as possible - real time analytics being reasonably important.

Note: we were aware of the implications of using GA on the site, but since we offer the ability to disable them very easily we didn't think it was a big deal. That's a mistake on our part, so let's discuss how to fix it.

LOL! Okay, we don't like Piwik because it's written in PHP, so fsck privacy, google can haz it. This is truly sad.
