Whenever I wanted to understand how things were going, I’d end up jumping between Stripe, analytics, database queries, logs, and cron scripts. I even built custom dashboards and Telegram bots to notify me about certain numbers, but that just added more things to maintain.
What I wanted was something simpler: send a number from my backend and see it on a clean dashboard.
So I built a small tool for myself.
It’s essentially a very simple API where you push numeric metrics with a timestamp, and then view them as counters, charts, goals, or percentage changes over time.
It’s not meant to replace analytics tools. I still use those. This is more for things like user counts, MRR, failed jobs, or any metric you already know you want to track without setting up a full integration.
Some intentional constraints: - no SDKs, just a basic HTTP API - works well with backend code and cron jobs - stores only numbers and timestamps - flexible enough to track any metric you can turn into a number
It’s still early and very much an MVP. I’m mainly posting to get feedback: - does this solve a real problem for you? - what feels unnecessary or missing? - how would you approach this differently?

Happy to answer questions or hear why this doesn’t make sense. Thanks, Felix
