our call
Start with Conversific — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
Clicky
Clicky's core value is ingesting JS beacon events and displaying real-time counters and heatmaps. A self-hosted lightweight alternative like Plausible or Umami can be deployed in minutes, making custom builds trivial for standard ecommerce traffic.
you can rebuild
- Real-time pageview and visitor event tracking
- DOM element click and interaction heatmaps
- Referrer and geolocation traffic breakdown
- Custom event tracking via JS API
- Uptime and response time monitoring
what you lose
- Managed high-throughput time-series infrastructure
- Proprietary bot and crawler filtering algorithms
- Out-of-the-box GDPR compliance without cookie consent banners
- Long-term historical log retention management
- Pre-configured legacy browser compatibility for tracking scripts
real moats
- Scalable high-concurrency time-series data storage
- Heuristic bot/spam traffic filter IP databases
- Historical analytics data persistence
Conversific
Conversific aggregates Shopify orders and Google Analytics metrics into pre-packaged charts and cohort grids. An AI coding agent can generate a self-hosted PostgreSQL schema and Metabase or Tremor dashboard to run these calculations natively.
