Show HN: BYO-database website analytics built for indie hackers

I run a handful of side projects and small MVPs, and I’ve always been frustrated with web analytics. The usual tools like Google Analytics, Plausible and the rest—promise insights, but in reality they trap you in a system that’s not built for indie hackers:

- Your data lives on their servers, not yours. You never truly control it. - *You pay recurring fees for each project*, even tiny ones that barely get traffic. - *Free tiers limit events or truncate history*, often only a few days or months. - *Paid plans often delete your history after a few years*, so even if you pay, you don’t truly own your data.

This is absurd. Analytics is basically just logs, yet we pay forever for access to our own data especially frustrating when managing multiple small projects.

I made *berrylog.app* for my own side projects, but realized it’s too useful not to launch publicly.

- *BYO-database analytics* - all events go straight into your Supabase. You own your data completely. - *One-time payment* - because we never store your data ourselves, we don’t need expensive infrastructure to keep any of your data. - *Full history forever* - all your projects, all your data, fully under your control until you delete them yourself.

Berrylog is designed for indie hackers who:

- Run multiple side projects and don’t want to pay monthly for each. - Want *true ownership* of their analytics data. - Need a lightweight, privacy-first solution that scales with their projects.

The current system is frustrating: free tiers limit events or history, paid plans cost money, and even then old data disappears after a while. For someone like me running multiple side projects, this quickly becomes painful. You end up paying recurring fees for tiny sites that barely make any money, and you still can’t keep your data forever.

Berrylog flips this on its head. By putting the database in your hands, it eliminates the infrastructure costs that make recurring subscriptions "necessary." One-time payment is possible because we don’t store your data - you do. Your projects, your traffic, your history, your control.

For indie hackers, this changes the game. You can finally experiment, iterate, and grow multiple projects without worrying about subscriptions or data limits. Every side project, micro-MVP, or experimental website can have full analytics at no recurring cost. Your data is yours to query, analyze, and keep forever.
