   Mixpanel helps track user behavior and measure success for your application

   I recommend Mixpanel to anyone who needs to do tracking of user behavior in web applications in order to measure against goals.

   🏁 Competitors: VWO, Optimizely, Convertize.io, Picreel

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use|Powerful analytics|Tracks every user actions

   👎 Cons:    Dashboard is complex|Pricing is too high|Hard to implement own data

• My 30-Year Quitting Addiction

  There is a free and open source app called SelfControl for macOS. It allows one to block access to any site one adds to the list in the app for the amount of time the user chooses. Attempt to use multiple browsers, restarting one's machine, deleting the app, etc. won't get around the block either. It's been super helpful for me, so I thought I'd just throw it out there. https://selfcontrolapp.com. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• App to prevent distractions at work

  It is SelfControl. It is open-source and free. You select the website you want to block and the time. The moment you click the button no matter what you do, you can forget about accessing those websites until the time is over; there is no cancel button. Restarted mac won't work, you can delete the app no luck. Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What’s your startup’s analytics setup? (2023)

  Ten years ago, there was a popular Ask HN: "what's your startup’s analytics setup?” [0]. Like the poster then (malandrew), I have the same problem in 2023: Selecting analytics solutions for the startup I'm working at has proven to be more daunting than I imagined.
