Starter dashboard galleries exist because most analytics tools open on an empty screen.
In Mixdive an event gets a report of its own the first time it arrives. You arrange a page later, once you know which numbers you keep coming back to.

Google Analytics keeps person-level data for 14 months at most. Your weekly reports don't change when it expires, so nobody notices until the day you ask a new question.
What still works afterwards, and what quietly stops:

Launch day tells you the link worked. It can't tell you whether anybody had a reason to come back.
The line to read is returning visitors, and the level it settles at once the crowd is gone.
A worked example, and three ways to misread it:
mixdive.com/blog/the-week-af…
Self-hosted software that "sends anonymous usage data" hasn't told you what it sends.
Mixdive makes one call: it reads a public file to see if a new version is out. Nothing about your server goes with it.

Small agencies move files, chat and project boards onto their own servers. Analytics usually gets left for later, because every client sees that change.
Why, and how it works with one Mixdive per client:

Web analytics counts visits. Product analytics counts what people do once they sign in.
Most teams need both, and it helps when the two see the same people. How to tell which one you're missing:

Don't take my word for any of this 🙌 The demo is a real Mixdive deployment with 90 days of ecommerce data in it.
No signup, nothing to install — click around:

🛠️ Mixdive is one person building the analytics tool I kept wishing existed: self-hosted, no per-event meter, honest defaults.
Free during the beta — if you run it and something's rough, tell me. That's the point. [email protected] #buildinpublic
Traffic charts show you crowds. The Users screen shows you people: signed up Tuesday, tried the feature once, hasn't been back. 👀
That one screen changes what you build next.

ALT Mixdive — a single user's profile with their data and event usage history
Classic analytics assumes a data team: tracking plan, dashboards, answers next quarter. 😅
Mixdive assumes the data person is you, at 11pm, after shipping. Events register themselves, reports work out of the box. ⚡
👉 mixdive.com/?utm_source=x&ut… #buildinpublic
ALT Mixdive — live event log: events streaming in and registering themselves
"Usage data never leaves our servers" — an easy promise when the analytics runs on your own machine. 🔒
No third-party processor. Cookie-free web analytics. GDPR-friendly by design, not by checkbox.
👉 mixdive.com/?utm_source=x&ut…
ALT Mixdive — Visitors screen: cookie-free web analytics with total, new and returning visitors
Pageviews answer "how many came". They can't answer "did anyone use the thing we shipped last week". 🤔
That second question decides your roadmap. It's the one Mixdive is built around.
👉 mixdive.com/?utm_source=x&ut… #buildinpublic
ALT Mixdive — an auto-generated report for the order_completed event: totals, unique users and usage over time
Per-event pricing has a strange shape: the better your product does, the more you pay to understand it. 📈
Self-hosting removes the meter. One container, however many events your users send. 🐳
👉 mixdive.com/?utm_source=x&ut… #buildinpublic
ALT Mixdive settings — storage screen showing the deployment's data living in its own MongoDB
Your product's usage history is the most honest feedback you'll ever get. 📊
With hosted analytics it lives in someone else's database, on someone else's terms. It can just as well live in yours.
👉 mixdive.com/?utm_source=x&ut… #buildinpublic
We built Mixdive because I wanted to see how people use our product — without handing their data to a third party. 🔒
