Looks like a great tool to trust our analytics, so much work is always done there. Super useful!

@aldamiz the best part is that you can integrate us with no hassle, no need to change anything, we will analize your requests/traffic to analytics platforms and tell you whats wrong.
Many thanks for the hunt @Kevin!
As a team we've been working with data and analytics a lot in the last 10 years, we've seen how data is managed at startups with millions of users, at big corporations and even at Google (@AlexandrosAndre).
And we've come to a conclusion: you can't simply trust the data you collect, you have to double-check. Here is how Trackingplan was born.
Our main requirement for the solution was: it has to be a one-line implementation, as we understand that anyone with a big codebase won't have time or resources to rewrite the code.
Why do I need that?
Have you ever found out that your analytics code was wrong way too late? Have you ever made a decision based on incomplete or wrong data and lost money? If the answer is yes, then you are like us and Trackingplan is for you.
How does it work?
Just add one line of code and Trackingplan will analyze all requests to your analytics providers and alert you in real-time if something is wrong.
It provides automatic monitoring across multiple platforms: Web, iOS, Android, and Backends. And analytics providers: Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Segment, Amplitude, Mixpanel, and others.
As a result, Trackingplan isn't only providing a health monitor for your analytics, but seamlessly documenting the specs of your events in order to find implementation bugs and create a single source of truth for your analytics.
Your plan can be managed by a team and shared.
Say goodbye to outdated spreadsheets that don't match your current plan and aren't in sync with your implementation!
We will be here for the discussion all day!
Thanks for the hunt!
I found that I spent years using internal solutions and protocols for solving a simple problem: trusting my analytics. Even at Hooks , with a small team, we had to doublecheck every time we had to make a decision based at our data, we did things like:
- Comparing with our internal database the numbers
- Comparing among different analytics
- Going to check the code.
- Check if there was a network problem some day.
And that for almost every report, round, or A/B test. We also found that adding “a new analytics” didn’t solve the problem, but made it bigger.
After talking with dozens of users, during the last year, we found that we were not alone, that there was a massive problem out there. We also discovered that we needed a solution with 4 conditions:
- Don’t change how to people do analytics: it was counterproductive to make people change their analytics code to fix a analytics code problem. Doing that you are just adding another layer of complexity to the problem, another stuff else to check
- Make it proactive: The problem around analytics happens when you need the data, not when you define or deploy it. You have to notice the problems before you go to check.
- It has to fit with the modern analytics stacks (tm).
- It has to cost just a small portion of what you currently pay for analytics
That’s why we built Trackingplan around there main features:
- No need to change anything! You can keep using support all analytics SDKs. You can see how it works at https://github.com/trackingplan/...
- Receive real-time alerts if something is wrong: misspelled events or missing properties, type mismatches, volume drops, and many more.
- Align your teams by sharing an always up-to-date tracking plan. Everyone will know what is currently being tracked.
I hope you test it and tell us what you think!
@juzafra Thanks Juan! I've suffered the problem myself, hope this approach is the best way to fix it.
This would have saved me lot of time debugging analytics implementations: fixing data types, someone removes an event by mistake, etc. Amazing product and congratz for the launch! :)
@benoit_chambon That was one of the initial requirements. We want to keep it dead simple. But any feedback to get there is welcome :), please try it out!
The project looks great, very helpfull. I will give it a try ! Does it detect GA event configuration automatically or do you have to provide it with some setup ?
@nazim_m It detects all the configuration. You only have to copy and paste your list of custom dimensions if you want see the aliases at the dashboard instead of the custom dimension index.
I'd love to learn more and get a demo. Curious to see if this is a replacement or addition to Google Analytics!
@kristen_gallagher Thanks for your comment. This is actually an addition to your exiting Analytics. It watches your analytics, indeed. We have a demo plan at https://panel.trackingplan.com/p.... I hope it helps :)
All of the integrations with existing analytics platforms is what sold me. Great job.
If it's not there yet, we'll code it for you. That's the deal.
Thanks @glen_creaser.
@glen_creaser Ofc, no need to change your analytics (we don't do analytics). Just trying to help with monitoring and remove errors and surprises. Please try :)
Hi hunters!
As a Software Engineer that has developed code for millions of users at companies like Google, I appreciate processes and development tools that automate validation and testing for me with little or no intervention from my side. These range from linting to production tests. Such tools allow me to write better code and sleep tight at night. I couldn't imagine working without them!
I understand Trackingplan as such a Code Quality tool. It tests my analytics for me in real time and discovers potential bugs that could cause critical data loss and money issues.
Trackingplan is also a communication tool. Since it automatically provides me with an up-to-date view of the tracking I have implemented, I can share this within the team as the single source of truth for our analytics. Spreadsheets are fine, but they are not meant for this!
Let us know if we can clarify anything further. And check out the ProductHunt demo: https://panel.trackingplan.com/p...
Thank you all, enjoy the prey!
PD: Kudos @Kevin
Hi everyone!
We are launching and we are looking forward to get your feedback.
It's been hard to get our MVP. A lot of working hours, meetings and discussions. But it's finally here! and we are happy about it.
As everybody knows, this is just the first step in our journey of developing something. We have put a lot of energy in this. We are a small team of four but very talented (and humble :P). We like to think about us as the A team. But because I like more sci-fi movies, we could also be the fantastic four! (just joking).
Next step is to validate our product. We would like to know about you and your issues with analytics data. We want to solve your real problems, be focused and be the best fit for you. Seriously, we need your feedback to develop the right thing, not just another tool that nobody will care about in a few months (this is our baby and we want to see it graduating).
Keep those questions coming, we appreciate them!
Thanks!
PD: Kudos @Kevin
Thank you @leobroom! We want to deliver value with minimal effort from your side. Let us know if you decide to try it out!
@irina_seng thanks, I think the problem is real, hope to solve it with this approach
