Kyle Gawley launches DataSlop, a parody open-source DataFast alternative
Kyle Gawley introduces DataSlop: paying $3 a month for DataFast was 'too expensive', so he built an open-source alternative. It has been running for a week and says his top traffic source is localhost. It's a parody of the 'I rebuilt it to save money' posts filling the timeline, and it's funny because it's close enough to true. Analytics looks simple until you have to filter out your own traffic. The zombie version works, it just mostly counts itself.
Introducing DataSlop.
Paying $3/mo for DataFast was too expensive.
So I built an open source alternative.
It's been running for a week and says my top traffic source is localhost.
