-I needed speed. Speed like a Ferrari.
-We started working closely with a growth hacking team at that time. With pressure from the CEO and - the - growth team, I had to manage a team of five developers, organize feature implementations, and set up - analytics.
-It was rough.
-I struggled to get actionable data without a complex setup, and the lack of a lightweight, - customizable analytics tool that was fast to implement.
-It was a real problem.
-Frustrated with the limitations of current analytics solutions, I opted for MixPanel for tracking - custom - events, Google Analytics for tracking visits & superficial metrics, and Clarity for tracking user - behaviors. But… MixPanel required intricate setups for detailed event tracking, Google Analytics - provided robust data on page visits but was hard to configure, and Clarity offered insights into - user - behavior but lacked real-time capabilities. There wasn’t a tool that did it all in one solution nor - was - created for each tech-stack out there.
-For this level of complexity in metrics, developers MUST be involved. period.
-We're building Litlyx, an open-source, lightweight analytics - platform - designed for simplicity to empower each developer to track analytics within seconds.
-Our mission was to achieve a 30-seconds setup in all tech stacks.
-Spoiler Alert: we did!
-We needed to create a tool that not only tracks your KPIs but also offers high - customization, an AI data-analyst assistant, and comprehensive - analytics report generation.
-Everything about analytics with Litlyx should be Exceptionally Easy and Fast.
-Devs should be focusing on actual Feature implementations and not wasting-time on reading complex - documentations.
-The current landscape of analytics tools is outdated and fragmented. Most solutions - were - developed over a decade ago, primarily focusing on large enterprises and emphasizing sales-led - growth or - marketing.
-These tools often ignore the needs of developers and smaller teams. But they are essential.
-No one is prioritizing a developer-first analytics experience or innovating in the - analytics space.
-The time has come to rethink analytics for 2024 and beyond. We need a tool that aligns with modern - app - development standards and provides a seamless, intuitive, and most importantly, dev-centric - experience.
-Litlyx aims to be the No.1 tool for analytics tracking that comes to mind for - developers, known for efficiency, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness.
-We want to be the go-to solution for collecting analytics, reducing fragmentation, - enhancing aggregation, and acting as a connector for databases and analytics tools that people - already - use. Our goal is to be the only place people need for everything related to analytics.
-We are committed to being dev-centric always.
-The Litlyx Team have taken the responsibility to create the simplest yet most effective way to track - analytics.
-We're building something that developers can really love.
-We're building it Open-Source, - because we - trust transparency and we know how much difficult it is to gain control on where your data goes.
-Probably we will make some mistakes in the process, but we are humans. We are devs!
-Join our journey and be among the pioneer developers to experience analytics tracking with - Litlyx. -
