Rethinking analytics

Plausible.io

A while ago, after years of being "analytics-free", I decided to try Plausible Analytics and I want to share what led me to start thinking differently.

Photopea

The original provocation was learning that Photopea, despite financial success as a one-person operation, earns most of its revenue from advertising and only four percent of its revenue from subscriptions or memberships. Considering that I am trying to finance my own sustainability directly via the people using the app, I thought it curious that this income equalled a sort of 'minimum wage' despite being a well-known, high-traffic project. I don't intend or know how to make something as complex and deep as a Photoshop clone, and so I wondered if I would have fewer opportunities than this—perhaps I need to be open to selling ads at some point in the future, if that's what it takes to keep content freely accessible on the web. (On the other hand, I believe it's better to avoid comparing yourself to others and complexity is not synonymous with income, but I'm not sure how to think about all this at the moment).

Buttondown

Similar to Buttondown, which I use to send mailing lists, I dig the spirit behind the project and its team and would like to lend my support. All this feels holistic so far, but I'm open to having my mind changed again. What do you think?
