👋 Hello, fellow privacy advocate,

My story started with a simple frustration: every time I implemented Google Analytics on a project, I felt like I was betraying my users.

In June 2025, I decided to do something about it. I stopped complaining and started building EthicalMetrics - a Google Analytics alternative that truly respects your users' privacy. No cookies. No tracking. No compromises.

Why does this matter so much to me?

Because I believe the web can be better. I believe we can gain valuable insights without spying on people. And I believe developers like you and me have the power to change the industry, one project at a time.

What I'm building:

• EthicalMetrics: The analytics platform you always wanted - powerful, yet ethical
• gh-issue-vote-ranking: Democratizing decisions in open source

My mission is simple: to make privacy the default, not the exception.

I'm currently working on this on my nights and weekends, but I dream of the day when I can fully dedicate myself to building tools that respect users and empower developers.

🙏 If you believe in a more ethical internet, your support would mean EVERYTHING to me.

Every dollar brings me one step closer to making EthicalMetrics the ultimate alternative to surveillance capitalist tools. You're not just sponsoring code—you're sponsoring a future where privacy is a right, not a luxury.

💚 Together we can build the web our users deserve.
