We launched https://everytwoyears.org today. It was my first project where I felt analytics was necessary, but also a moral quandary. For personal reasons, I'm very against PII big data. For project reasons, the project is literally about stopping mass surveillance so shipping a tool like Google Analytics was firmly off the table.

I went with https://app.usefathom.com which tracks _aggregate anonymized_ data.

They have the option to self host, but I'm sending them money to support the project. With today's launch, I'm really happy with the product. Will continue using it.



We really appreciate people like you, thank you. And on a personal level, I respect your "BREAKING THROUGH TWO PARTY POLITICS" tagline.
