Hi guys, I've been working on a self-hostable web analytics platform since the start of this year after being frustrated with Google Analytics and Plausible.

I've packed a bunch of cool web analytics features into Rybbit, but I've tried very hard to keep the interface simple to use,

How would this compare to something like PostHog?

    Posthog makes it almost impossible to actually self-host since they try to push you onto the cloud as much as possible. They say that the self-hosted version only works well up until 100k events ... which is insane since their cloud free tier is 1 million events. It's actually the reason why I built Rybbit. I tried to self-host posthog on my server but it ran it up to 100% CPU on 8 cores and didn't even work.

    Ok posthog rant done.

    The other main difference is that Posthog has like 10+ different products all in one. Their web analytics is good, but it's just kind of bland (imo) because it's not their main focus.
