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
  • Build toward plain-English explanations of your data
  • Explore future benchmarks against other startups
  • Bring analytics, revenue, domain health, and link performance into one workspace. Search and backlink data require a configured provider or an import; comprehensive rank tracking and team tools remain on the roadmap.
