What is it?

Minilytics is web analytics for your own websites, built for indie hackers and solo founders. Beyond visitors and pageviews, it tracks where traffic comes from (channel, referrer, UTM campaign, keyword, ?ref= tags) and links payments back to the visitor who made them, so you can see which tweet, article or search led to revenue.

Each person deploys their own copy as a Cloudflare Worker backed by D1 (SQLite), so data stays in their own Cloudflare account. The project includes a lightweight tracking script, a React dashboard served from the same Worker, and a Hono-based API. Dodo Payments webhooks are supported for attribution, and a generic payments API covers other providers.

The setup uses Wrangler commands and requires Node.js 20+. The README notes that the free Cloudflare tier suits side-project traffic, with the paid Workers plan as the next step for larger sites.
