👻 Welcome to the GhostStat Community
This is the home for everyone building, using, and thinking about GhostStat —
the cookie-free, privacy-first analytics platform. Whether you're here to get
unstuck, pitch an idea, translate the app, ship a plug-in, or just nerd out about
what the data is telling you: you're in the right place.
We built GhostStat to measure the web without cookies, without fingerprinting,
and without treating people like products. This community runs on the same
values — helpful, honest, and respectful of privacy, including each other's.
What you'll find here
- Improvement Ideas & Plugin Ideas — the roadmap starts with you. The best
ideas here get built.
- Tutorials & Developer Zone — learn to install the tracking script, build a
funnel, read a heatmap, or write your own plug-in.
- Troubleshooting & Server Setup — stuck? Post it. Someone (often the person
who hit it last week) will help.
- General Analytics & Privacy — the bigger conversation: metrics that matter,
GDPR, ethical measurement, and the occasional delightfully weird finding.
- Showcases — show us your dashboards and your wins.
Browse the categories → the Tags page.
First steps (takes 3 minutes)
- Introduce yourself — reply to the pinned intro thread. Tell us
what you're measuring and what brought you here.
- Set your avatar and, if you like, link your GhostStat account email so we
can recognise your contributions.
- Follow the tags you care about (the bell icon on any category) so you get
notified, not spammed.
- Read the guidelines — read them here.
🏆 We reward the people who make this place good
Helping others, submitting ideas that ship, contributing translations, building
plug-ins, and reporting solid bugs all earn GhostPoints, ranks, and badges —
and the people who do it consistently earn a free GhostStat Pro+ account, for
life. (25 sites, 365 days retention 25,000,000 Events/mo) It's earned, not given, and it's real. Full details: The Ghost Guild.
The short version of the ladder:
Visitor → Signal → Tracker → Analyst → Architect → Ghost Council
Reach Architect with a genuine, sustained contribution and pro+-for-life is
yours.
House rules (the short list)
- Be kind and assume good faith. We're all figuring the web out.
- Search before posting; add to existing threads where it fits.
- Use the right category and tags — it helps everyone (and earns you goodwill).
- No spam, no scraping other members, no dark-pattern self-promotion. This is a
privacy community; act like it.
- Security issues: don't post them publicly — email → (security@ghoststat.me)
or use the private security tag.
