How is Rybbit different from Google Analytics?

The dashboard focuses on real-time visitor tracking, page views, sessions, referral sources, device breakdowns, and geographic data, and is designed to be far simpler to navigate than Google Analytics.

What does it take to self-host Rybbit?
Rybbit is fully self-hostable via Docker, which makes deployment straightforward on any server that supports containerized workloads.
