Have you tried goaccess (https://goaccess.io/) for basic analytics? It's been great for me. Last real item I'm stuck on then is Google Fi
James Mullarkey
thanks for this never seen it before :)

I've been using it about 2 months. It isn't the most detailed but what it does have is super accurate as it isn't using JS

What do you use for discovering places when travelling? It seems whenever I'm abroad I have to reinstall google maps to find anything I might want to visit

tripadvisor is not bad for places/restaurants. it is almost as good as google maps. foursquare is good for north america and some big cities mostly. i don't think a non-surveillance capitalism alternative exists yet but do hope that openstreetmap could become it in the future

Wikitravel was biggish in early 2000s but I guess it didn't properly break through.
Marko Saric
true, i liked reading their city guides but in most cases they are now outdated

didn't most of the wikitravel community move over to wikivoyage when they weren't happy with the wikitravel host / owner?

For many places I've found the latter to be quite useful.
