Basic pageview/event analytics are easy, and Plausible's own code is open source; the paid value is hosted reliability, maintenance, and support.

Build me a privacy-first web analytics tool like Plausible (personal scale).
Requirements:

- A <2KB tracking snippet (vanilla JS, no cookies): sends pageview beacons with
  path, referrer, screen class, and a daily-rotating visitor hash computed
  server-side from IP + user-agent + a salt (never store raw IPs).
- An ingest endpoint that filters obvious bots by user-agent and writes to
  SQLite. One row per event; index on (site, date).
- A /dashboard (basic-auth from .env): unique visitors, pageviews, top pages,
  top referrers, and countries for today/7d/30d, with a visitors-per-day bar
  chart as inline SVG. Fast and clean, dark mode.
- Sessionization: a visit ends after 30 idle minutes; compute bounce rate.
- Multi-site support via a site id in the snippet.
- Node or Python, one process. Honest note in the README: at serious traffic,
  self-host the real Plausible instead · this is for personal sites.
