SHOW HN: Open Analytics – open-source and self hostable web analytics

Open Analytics launched on August 12, 2026, posting to Hacker News as a Show HN by author rahulbridge. The project bills itself as an open-source, self-hostable web analytics platform, available at getopen.so.

The Show HN post describes the tool as open-source and self-hostable, positioning it as an alternative for teams or individuals who want to run their own web analytics without relying on third-party hosted services. No pricing tiers, specific feature sets, or deployment requirements were detailed in the source material.

Beyond the core description, the Hacker News listing provides limited additional detail — no founding date, team size, funding, or technology stack is mentioned. The post had 1 point and no comments at the time of submission.

The self-hosted analytics space includes established open-source projects such as Plausible, Umami, and Matomo, which have each carved out audiences among privacy-conscious developers and organizations looking to avoid sending visitor data to third-party platforms. Open Analytics enters this market without disclosing what differentiates it from those incumbents, based on available source material.

No forward-looking roadmap, hiring plans, or expansion details were included in the Show HN post. Further technical and product details would need to be assessed directly via the project's repository or website at getopen.so.
