You haven't provided a working link to your service, you said "simplytics.dev" but that doesn't resolve to anything:

Thanks a lot, seems like i forgot to point the apex domain to the www version. It should be fixed now. If not, www.simplytics.dev should work until I got it fixed.

Hello HN, realized I should introduce myself and not just my project. I building stuff on the web and this is the second time something I created actually goes LIVE.

Before this I created a website displaying snow conditions for a few hundred locations in Sweden. I love skiing and ski-touring and wanted a better way to find the best conditions.

Right now I don't have much time to work on my projects since I'm doing mandatory millitary service, which is part of the reason Simplytics.dev took so long to launch. But I'm hoping I might soon make my first buck selling zeros and ones.

Id love to recieve feedback, Hugo

I signed up for an account and it seems you are showing a code snippet with an API key for client-side code. How do you handle authorization? Can anybody use up my 50k events if they steal the key?

I would love to check out the website, but it says the site can't be reached. Sounds promising though!

Thanks! I forgot to point the naked domain to the www. version. In the meantime, try this URL instead: www.simplytics.dev
