What's goatcounter

GoatCounter is a lightweight web analytics platform that provides insights into website traffic while respecting user privacy. It distinguishes itself by its simplicity and focus on privacy, avoiding the use of cookies and not collecting personal data. GoatCounter offers essential tracking features, such as page views, referrers, and popular pages, through an intuitive and clean interface. It's particularly suitable for individuals and small businesses looking for a privacy-conscious way to understand their website's performance without compromising on user data security.

How to use

First, you have to set up the goatcounter dashboard and have two things ready:

1. Site prefix - for example if your goatcounter site is stats.goatcounter.com the prefix is stats
2. The API token

Both of those should be put in an .env file in the proect directory:

TOKEN="tokentokentokentokentokentokentokentokentokentoken"
SITE_PREFIX="stats"

Then you can run go run main.go and get basic page hits. Consult the client/data.go file for details.
