| Hey everyone, I just released onepagega.com. Like many of you I
| was frustrated with GA4's UI/UX. GA4 is super powerful but it's
| just so hard to use. I set out to solve this. I love the
| Plausible UI/ UX but wanted it for GA4.
|
| Would love your feedback. thanks

| Forgot to mention, to sign up, just use your Google account and
| select you property. Then a dashboard is instantly generated.
| Not other setup required.

| This looks awesome Johnny , finally ga4 starts to make sense!

| I need this for my own product (www.paiger.co) to showcase the

| reporting only and a non-compete with what you're doing? Would
| save me the development work and I'd happily pay for it.

| You can not embed yet, but we'll be working one public
| sharing option soon.

| Plausible (or Matomo) instance?

| GA4 is a lot more powerful than Plausible, plus we charge per

| can choose whatever OS tool you want.

| Yeah, but why use the more powerful GA4 if you want a simple
| dashboard like Plausible?
|
| Another concern with GA4 is that visitors data goes to Google
| - not good if you have privacy-minded customers. (Naturally,
| this shouldn't be a problem in your case as you market to
| those already using GA4.)

| Could be that more than one person in the company uses GA4.
| One team might just need the basic stuff in a simple
| dashboard. Other teams might need the more detailed data
| you get from standard GA4.

| I work in an org where, despite the hell they put themselves
| through with GA4 I can't convince them to switch to Plausible
| or Matomo. Part of the reason is interoperability with their
| partners, but most of it is the mentality that they aren't
| paying for GA, and since its free they'll keep it. As you
| already guess this ignores the tens of thousands of dollars
| spent in stakeholders trying to figure out WTF they're looking
| at in GA.
|
| And that's the final irony. If I show this to our GA users
| they'll say, "wow this is nice but we can't afford the
| $20/month."

| Plausible is quite slow for large sites

| Not bad. Solves a problem. I'm sticking with Plausible but if I

|
| You should consider a self-hosted option with a one-time payment.

| I too was frustrated with GA4 but a couple months ago watched a
| few hours of youtube tutorials and it really demystified GA4.
| It's quite a powerful tool if you take a couple days and build
| out the dashboards you'd like to see.

| Agree with the suggestion about self-hosted option. Is there one

|
| A few UI/UX suggestions:
|
| -On mobile, the on-click text shown when clicking individual
| features in the pricing section are wider than the screen and cut
| off
|
| -A couple typos found:
