About this project
Loglib describes itself as an open-source, privacy-first web analytics tool. The README emphasizes combining simplicity with the option to go deeper depending on your needs, and lists a dashboard plus an API for retrieving your data at any time for any purpose.
Stated highlights:
- Privacy first: Loglib is described as GDPR compliant out of the box, with options to customize privacy settings and use cookie notices.
- Own your data: simple APIs are provided so you can get your data back whenever you want.
- Events and product analysis: features described as going beyond simple pageviews; the project can be used as simply or as elaborately as required.
- Developer friendly: almost zero configuration to get started, with the aim of being easy to add to apps and frameworks.
- Ongoing work: the README says more features are in development, without naming them.
The repository shows an npm package named @loglib/tracker, alongside badges for version, bundle size, license, issues and stars. This suggests a client-side tracking component as part of the project, though the README does not document installation steps or integration details.
On hosting, the README states that self-hosting the whole system can be painful and that work is underway to separate the marketing site from the dashboard to make self-hosting easier; this is marked as coming soon rather than available. In the meantime, a free hosted version is offered at loglib.io. A contributing guide is linked in the repository for those who want to help.
Overall, the README positions Loglib as a developer-oriented, privacy-conscious alternative for web analytics, with data portability via APIs and a planned self-hosting path, but it currently documents intent and features more than concrete setup instructions.
