The open source version seems to be lacking behind and might generally be treated without much love, given that their website doesn't even link to it (which is understandable from a business point of view, but doesn't inspire much confidence in its future maintenance).
Our goal is long term sustainability of privacy-focused analytics. We're achieving that. We tried to do it with the OS codebase, and the original tech guy left the project. The MRR was around $1,300 between 2 people after many months.
When we focused on building a business, we were able to become a much more viable competitor to Google Analytics.
The reason we haven't written off Fathom Lite is because we've always had plans to come back to it this year and put out an update. Will we be launching new features? No. Will we be fixing bugs and ensuring it's a solid product for individuals? Absolutely.
