DataSag Roadmap

My Vision

This page is my personal notes, thoughts, and running todo list for building DataSag. Ideas may change over time.

The idea: Simple Web Analytics for Indie Hackers & Startups

Track visitors and events with a single line of code

Get AI-powered insights and plain-English explanations of your data

See benchmarks and compare performance against other startups

Replace both Simple Analytics ($15/mo) and Ahrefs ($29/mo) by combining analytics and SEO with an AI business analyst mascot and built-in team support at a fraction of the cost
