Abacus

Website analytics platform prototype.

The basic idea is you can add some javascript to your site, causing all clicks / pageloads / navigation / form submits to log an event. (see frontend/src/client/inject.js) We keep track of the events, and expose them via a dashboard.

The dashboard allows you to graph event frequency over time, name events, and filter them.

Again, this is very much a prototype. I took basically all the shortcuts I could think of, and took on as much technical debt as the banks would let me. Please lower your expectations.
