Looks great! I'm going to try it for a local news website i run. Any chance of adding the "realtime" counters (sum and per-page), similar to what Google has? https://i.vgy.me/j20DEL.png

The demo shows zeroes everywhere except the chart and map when i open it in Firefox (79.0), even with uBlock and FF's built-in tracking protection disabled: https://i.vgy.me/kLEPSV.png (nothing in the console, and it works fine in Chrome)

Yes, I'm working on a real-time view at the moment.

The demo was down for a while due to too much traffic. It should be back up now.

Thanks. The demo was up, but did (and still does) show only zeroes in the tables. Probably just some display issue in FF, because it gets the actual numbers from the API: https://i.vgy.me/hCOhYS.png

How does this compare to Plausible or Fathom feature wise?

Demo on mobile appears to be broken.

Mobile has been fixed, thanks!

It's very similar to Fathom and Plausible feature wise, except it's self-hosted. I'm currently hosting the entire app and database on a $5 DigitalOcean VM which is a lot cheaper than their basic plans.

It also doesn't do email reports, but I just open up the dashboard daily.

What is the advantage over Matomo ?

I think Umami has a few advantages,

- A lot easier to use, no unnecessary features

- Modern Javascript stack vs PHP (Matomo)

- MIT license vs GPL v3 (Matomo)

- Supports both Postgresql and MySQL

- Easily deploys to free hosts like Vercel and Netlify

Hi, love this product. However, I'm kinda stuck on the installation and deploying process. What's the best way to talk to you regarding it?

You can create an issue on Github and I'll try and answer, https://github.com/mikecao/umami/issues
