• GigaToken: ~1000x faster Language model tokenization

  I think sometimes optimizations are more about using the right data structure/ideas/libraries. In my case, I recently optimized for https://uxwizz.com the session playback: before, it was saving the entire recording in one row, with updates, and loading it client-side in one chunk. I asked thr AI to, instead, store the recorded chunks in separate rows in db, and when replaying, to stream those chunks as needed. It... - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago

• Using self-hosted Umami for iOS app analytics

  Not for iOS, but for web apps, if you like self-hosted analytics that has more than basic stats, I'm really proud of what I've built with https://uxwizz.com. - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

• Some Things Just Take Time

  I've been building my project[0] for 14+ years, but I'm still looking forward to the day I won't have to worry about next month's rent. Customers are happy though. Last week I got messages from two customers that purchased more than 7 years ago, because they wanted to install/use the product again. It was fun to revisit our email conversations and to see how much the product has evolved since. What's funny is... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Web Analytics in 2025

  Maybe my https://uxwizz.com platform is what you are looking for? It comes with both stats and heatmaps/recordings. It is self-hosted only (so more private, but you need to run it on your own server). It is tailored more for small to medium businesses (simpler to understand interface and also optimized for up to 500k-1m monthly sessions). Happy to answer any questions! - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Stackfix – Compare B2B SaaS Features and Pricing

  Hi Camin, The platform looks quite cool. I was looking at analytics, it works well. Adding the events is a bit strange (e.g. The default is 1 Event, and writing 1000000 is strange, maybe also add some pre-made ranges, like 3-5M events). ALso, how to add new tools? Do you also support self-hosted tools? Would love to add my https://uxwizz.com to the product analytics category. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What do you use for analytics for a statically generated website?

  Probably not exactly what you're looking for (if you only want basic stats), but I made a self-hosted platform: https://uxwizz.com It's built on the LAMP stack, so you'll also have access to the data from all your websites in a MySQL database. You can enable/disable specific static features. Fun fact: if you want session recordings, it comes with a unique "lightweight" session recording mode that is specifically... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: SaaS that turns your idea into a perfect 5-minute pitch

  Note that Hotjar is blocked by Brave by default (and probably other ad-blockers), so the data you get can be skewed, as it no longer represents the more technical audience (which your website might be for, or the people coming from HN). https://s3.amazonaws.com/i.snag.gy/HQkKgX.jpg You have more chances to get accurate stats with a self-hosted alternative, like the one I'm building, UXWizz[0]. Or Matomo[1], but I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How can I improve my website?

  I suggest you use a template, now it looks like it's AI generated. Especially, the 100% full width layout looks weird on large resolutions. In general, everything is too big/spaced out, hard to read the text when it is so large. The h1 should be "Build your dream game" instead of "Start working with us today". If you want to see how visitors browse your site and where they drop off, check out my self-hosted... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: It took me 5() months to build a Plausible alternative

  I am trying this with https://uxwizz.com but it's not easy. I do like this model, but there are some challenges: * With one-time the initial payment is higher ($299 one-time vs $29/mo), many people don't think too much before paying $29, but think a lot more before paying $299. * Only paying once still doesn't cover the support expenses or future development. In my case, I went with pay-once use forever, but with... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Do you still use Google Analytics? If not what do you use?

  I did build my own: https://uxwizz.com It has a simple PHP/MySQL backend, so it's easy to query the data directly or integrate it with other data visualization tools and workflows. Recently I also added text-to-SQL and text-to-chart, using ChatGPT, which works surprisingly well. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

  I'm slightly pivoting https://uxwizz.com, to focus more on the text-to-SQL feature to generate graphs/charts and export them. It's a lot easier to create custom dashboards like this, and it's also easier for me to implement the "UI" to create the embeddable charts using AI text-to-SQL instead of a visual SQL editor. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Should I build my startup by offering self hosted and cloud version of B2B SaaS?

  I tried both, and I'm currently focused on self-hosting. Selling a hosted version has usually less friction (customer has less to do), but it also requires a lot more resources from your side (both time-wise to run/maintain the service, but it also costs you money to run it). With my self-hosted analytics platform[0] I decided to go self-hosted only, so the main focus now is making the installation and... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Tracking website visitor sessions for marketing lead tracking

  I use my own https://uxwizz.com platform. Most valuable insights for me are the individual visitor journeys (see what a session does, which pages were visited, what actions/tags were triggered, etc.). I also often use the segments feature + goals to compare conversion rates across different channel (e.g. See conversion rate for Google vs HN visitors). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
