Show HN: Don't waste hours on Google Analytics again

Looks nice! I don't know about the don't waste hours issue. I am more concerned about generating reports that my clients can understand easily.

Looking forward to trying it out.

I watched the video and all the data shown is visible in GA within a few clicks, not "hours" as the video claims. If that's too much, you can also create a custom dashboard in GA that shows all this in a single glance.

This is just another pretty UI on top of the GA API, from what I can tell.

The approach we are taking is consolidating a lot of the data that Google Analytics provides you into scores. These are found throughout the dashboard and reports, which give you a gauge to go off of for optimizing. This is opposed to exporting all of the data manually and creating your own algorithms to discover new opportunities and figure out what needs to be tweaked, which we've found people do.

The scores and the way the reports are laid out save you time because of consolidation and at a glance views. We have plans for even more powerful features that allow you to manipulate data even further which Google Analytics is not capable of too.

A little offtopic, weird they chose to keep the URL at: www.domain.tld, domain.tld even redirects to www

It's done out of personal preference and for SEO.

Not that I have strong opinions on the matter, but this is the go-to resource for that side.

The 'Live Chat' link does nothing as of now just so you know!

Haha, they seem to be working (although a little choppy) in Chrome. However their hover is set to opacity, so on the main "Watch Video" button it becomes transparent rather than just changing to a lighter colour.

It's high on the priority list for fixes
