i'm om yaduvanshi, 18. i build ai agents, and my second project is cloudline — website analytics without cookies.

the problem: i put GA4 on a side project, added the cookie banner the lawyers want, and watched a chunk of my visitors click “decline” and disappear from my stats forever. you're not measuring traffic. you're measuring consent.

so i built the alternative: one script tag under 2kb, pasted from your dashboard. no cookies, no ip storage, no banner needed for the analytics itself.

a pageview stores exactly four things: page, referrer, screen size, time. that's the whole list.

what you get: top pages, traffic sources (search, social, newsletters, even ai assistants), scroll depth, button clicks, funnels, live visitor count. up to 50 sites in one dashboard.

why this matters for you: if you've ever stared at a GA4 dashboard that felt built for a fortune 500 company, or delayed launching because the cookie banner copy wasn't ready — this is the tool that skips all of that.

it's free while in early access, no card: trycloudline.space

i'm posting about building this in public for the next 90 days. next up: how scroll depth tracking works without storing anything personal.
