What ?

vice is a modern server for collecting and analyzing website analytics. vince focuses on modern web application development by emphasizing easy of use for both deployment, maintenance and integration with existing infrastructure.

Why ?

All existing solutions are hard to self host and license is AGPL. Also they emphasis more on visual and a lot of corners are cut in deriving the numbers.

I need my web analytics analysis served raw and cold. So there is only storing and analysis nothing more. And the license is Apache 2.0 so self host as you please.
