The problem was that you obviously needed to use it with Facebook. As we started building a FB chatbot, that was not an issue, but for any other product it didn't make sense.
We considered:
- Mixpanel was way too expensive for us.
- Google analytics is definitely not a product analytics tool.
- Game Analytics was a good tool, but too much focused on games.
Analytics tools can be very expensive and there weren't many good free alternatives that we were aware of.
Recently I've been checking what can be customized in VS Code and my approach was to just check what was modified by the theme. This makes the whole process more intuitive as you can just tweak the settings and see how it would look like.
