Today we are happy to announce that our FOSS project, Litlyx have reached 500 Stars on GitHub.
This numbers seams crazy for us. I will share a little back story on why we exist.
Our journey began when my co-founder and I were working together at a scaling startup in Italy. As the CTO, I led a small team of two, and we were responsible for shipping a massive amount of code.
Despite the long hours and countless features we delivered, our efforts often went unnoticed. The content team, however, always had stories to tell about "how fast the company was growing," and they received most of the credit for bringing in users on our features.
Meanwhile, we stayed up late, night after night, doing the hard work behind the scenes—without a word of thanks.
After a while, my co-founder and I had had enough. We decided to leave the startup, and three months later, the company collapsed. It was a complete failure for them.
We then transitioned to freelancing together and worked with over 20 clients, developing cool platforms.
Every client wanted analytics tracking—because, let’s face it, metrics are king. We tried several open-source analytics solutions, and google analytics and while they were good, each had its limitations or complexities.
We lost a lot of time finding a library that was updated for GA. When we was up and ready a lot of data was lost, and we didn’t know why.
This analytics projects all deserve respect, but none of them were modern, modular, and easy to use or deploy.
That’s why we built Litlyx—an all-in-one analytics solution. It covers everything from web analytics to custom events, includes an AI data analyst, and lets you manage your raw data however you want.
And because we believe in the power of the open-source community, we’ve made it self-hostable, so anyone can use it for free if they wish.
We have taken a lot from FOSS, so is time to give back.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but we’re happy that people are finding value in what we’re building.
