About Simple Analytics
Simple Analytics ships weekly small wins — Events Explorer polish, API v6 with intervals, ingestion-side IP blocking.
Cadence is the story: roughly weekly, small, considered improvements rather than headline features. Recent shipping covers Events Explorer ergonomics (column truncation, full-width toggle, collapse on hover), API v6 with proper interval support and version-aware changelogs, IP blocking moved out of bunny.net into the ingestion app for per-site control, plus quality-of-life touches (favicon refresh, open-referral-in-new-tab). The infrastructure upgrade in late February — doubled Elasticsearch cluster, 10K pageviews/sec — is the biggest under-the-hood move.
