    Hi, this is an open-source product experiment. I am building an interesting product and would like to hear your opinion. The design and implementation of this product are open and transparent. Of course, the code will also be **open-source**. I will synchronize the latest progress and ideas on https://twitter.com/rick3617502342 Let's get started~ Front-end applications are becoming increasingly complex. However, at the same time, we cannot understand the running status and performance of the application, namely the observability of the front-end application. Google Analysis and Sentry are great, but there are always problems such as platform fragmentation, high prices, and data ownership. Therefore, I want to develop a product to collect various data on front-end applications, help developers discover online issues, get insight into page performance, and promote user growth.

    # What is the product - Data collection: Front-end page error monitoring (alarm), performance, user event tracking - Visualization: Embedded dashboard, visualizing the above data. # Target Users - Small and medium-sized companies, individual developers who do not want to pay for expensive SaaS services (Google Analytics, Sentry). - Product developers who want to own the data # Product goals - Open source and free 😄😄😄 - Ready to use, deploy in 1 minute - Single tenant and only support a single site - Focus on privacy and compliance # Some confusion - I am not familiar with GDPR and not sure how to ensure privacy and compliance. - Can it be integrated with [Grafana Faro](https://grafana.com/oss/faro/) or [OpenTelemetry](https://github.com/open-telemetr...)? # Interesting ideas - Maybe the entire product can be deployed to Cloudflare. Unfortunately, the size limit of [D1 database](https://blog.cloudflare.com/intr...) is 100M.
