bus factor 2 concentrated
top-author share 46% 6 mo

bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • Privacy-first design: Collects only essential metrics and avoids invasive tracking.
  • Ease-of-use: Lightweight and self-hosted, giving full control over data.
  • Modern analytics features: Supports data exports, event properties display, and evolving toward rich user journey tracking.

under the hood

  • Built with TypeScript/JavaScript and MIT-licensed.
  • Deployable via Docker or local build with clear npm instructions and.env-based configuration.
  • Active development, with the v2.19.0 release recently preparing migration paths for the upcoming v3.
