Traks is open source. For the past few months I've been building a web analytics platform that runs entirely inside your own Cloudflare account. Today the whole thing is public on GitHub under MIT. Website: traks.dev Code: github.com/shivamanupadi/tra… What it is Self-hosted, cookie-free analytics. You paste one script tag, and every event flows through a Worker in your account into a per-site Durable Object for realtime and into Apache Iceberg on R2 for history. No servers to manage. No third-party service ever touches your traffic data. Not even traks.dev, which only runs the install wizard and forgets you afterwards. Privacy by construction Visitors are counted with a daily-rotating hash, the same approach Plausible uses. Raw IP addresses are never written anywhere. No cookies, no consent banner, no cross-day identifiers. The dashboard never calls out to a third party: auth runs on D1, the world map is self-hosted, the tracker is served inline from the edge. Realtime without a queue Today and live views come straight from a SQLite Durable Object with zero ingest delay. A WebSocket pushes live visitors, pages, referrers, and city-level map dots to the dashboard as they happen. Anything older is answered from Iceberg via R2 SQL, edge-cached and scan-minimized. Built for agents, not just dashboards This is the part I'm most excited about. Your analytics are exposed to AI agents over MCP. Point Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client at your instance and ask "what changed in traffic this week" or "which referrer drove signups yesterday." Bot and agent traffic is classified and reported alongside human traffic, so you can see how much of your audience is now machines. What it costs Nothing, ever, from me. You pay only your own Cloudflare usage, which stays inside the free tier for most sites. A side project runs for about $5/month. 5M pageviews a month is about $7. Past that, roughly $4.60 per additional million events. The full cost model is in the README. Getting started Install in about two minutes at traks.dev. Read the code, file issues, send PRs at github.com/shivamanupadi/tra… If you've wanted analytics you actually own, without running a database or trusting a vendor with your visitors, this is for you. Stars and feedback both very welcome.

Why pay $29 when you can get it for free? traks.dev Traks is MIT licensed and runs in your own Cloudflare account. Sign in with Cloudflare and it installs in one click: no terminal, no Node. Updates are one click too. Already used by 100+ Cloudflare users. It scales because your history goes to Iceberg tables on R2 object storage, not a database that fills up. • realtime visitors on a live map • funnels, goals, page paths • ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity traffic as its own channel • bots classified, not just dropped • MCP server so your coding agent can query your analytics What it doesn't do yet: Stripe revenue by source. Which is on the roadmap. Want something else? PRs are welcome.

Meet OtterKit, the inbound layer for developers and their AI agents. otterkit.com What it does: 🔗 Tunnels: one command puts any local port on a public HTTPS URL. Keep the same name every time, add a password, auto-stop when you're done. Every request is captured so you can inspect it and replay it. 📬 Webhooks: a permanent URL in the cloud that answers even when your laptop is closed. It verifies signatures from Stripe, GitHub, Shopify and more, lets you return any response, and forwards each event onward, signed and retried. It can also take email and answer on your own domain. Try quick webhook here without any account: otterkit.com/try ⏰ Pulses: call any URL on a schedule and keep every response, or use a dead-man switch that tells you when a job goes quiet. 🤖 Built for agents: through MCP, your agent can open a tunnel, create a webhook, wait for the event and verify it, entirely on its own. 💻 A new native Mac app: live traffic, spend in your menu bar, and guardrails that stop idle tunnels before they cost you. And the part I care about most: no subscription. Most tools want a monthly plan even if you use them for five minutes. With OtterKit you pay as you go: • one hour of use costs a cent. • Run it all month and it never costs more than $3. • Pulses are a cent per hundred runs. New accounts get 10 free credits, so you can try it today: npx otterkit login #DeveloperTools #AIAgents #Webhooks #MCP #BuildInPublic #macOS

I made a 4K film of the James Webb launch and unfolding. No frame of it came from an AI video or image model. Every frame is computed by code running in a browser. Built with Claude Opus 5.5. Sound on 🔊 How it works The film is a website that plays itself. Each chapter is a React component, a function of time. Remotion opens it in headless Chrome, steps through one frame at a time, and encodes all 2,700 frames at 3840×2160 to MP4. 3D three.js/WebGL: PBR materials, shadows, bloom, depth of field. The telescope is NASA's own JWST model. Opus rigged every mechanism (pallets, tower, mid-booms, 5 sunshield layers, the secondary mirror tripod, both mirror wings) to go from folded to deployed. Effects Liftoff smoke is thousands of lit, depth-sorted particles whose positions are computed from time, so every render is identical. Earth is a custom shader with 8K day, night and cloud maps and an atmosphere that thins with altitude. The HUD and titles are plain HTML, CSS and SVG. Music Also code. An organ, a ticking clock, launch rumble and latch hits, synthesised sample by sample in about 200 lines of JavaScript and mastered with ffmpeg. Original, so no copyright strikes. Real mission data Liftoff 12:20:07 UTC → fairing jettison at 110 km → separation at L+27:07, ~1,400 km over Africa → solar array 69 seconds later → every deployment in the real order, with dates. Opus researched and cited it all before writing a line of code. ~2,800 lines of TypeScript. A 1080p preview renders in ~3 min on a MacBook; the 4K master in ~15. The best part: it's a source file, not a black box. Every camera move, date and color is editable. AI didn't generate the video. It wrote the program that renders it.

Traks 0.1.42 is out, the biggest dashboard update so far. 🔗 Public dashboards Share your site's analytics with a single link. No sign-in needed to view it. Traffic is always included, and you choose whether goals, funnels and custom events are visible too. Visitors can switch periods and filter, but can't change anything. Turn it off any time. 🎯 A new UI for goals Every goal is now a scorecard: its conversion rate up front, a bar filled to that rate, and uniques and totals underneath. Edit, duplicate or delete a goal right from its card. 📉 A new UI for funnels Funnels now show one column per step, with the visitors lost since the previous step highlighted, so you can see exactly where people drop off. Building a funnel is one row per step, and steps reorder by drag or the arrow keys. 🔑 API tokens tab Tokens for Claude Code, other agents and scripts now live in their own tab: create one, copy it once, see when it was last used, revoke it in a click. ⚙️ Cleaner Settings One card per setting, a plain statement of whether you're an owner or a member, and every site's timezone shown next to the current time in that zone. Traks is open source and runs entirely in your own Cloudflare account. Free forever, and your data never leaves your account. Existing installs get the update banner in the dashboard.

Hey @levelsio Analytics is the one that fits your keep list instead of your replace list. Traks is open source (MIT) web analytics that runs entirely on the Cloudflare account you're already keeping: Workers for ingest, Durable Objects for realtime, R2 + Iceberg for history. No VPS, no Postgres, no cron, nothing to babysit. Cookie-free, daily-rotating visitor hash, no IPs stored. ~$5/mo at side-project scale, all of it on your Cloudflare bill. Stats are exposed over MCP too, so the same LLM doing your moderation can answer "why did traffic drop Tuesday" against your own data. traks.dev

This is how Live View looks like. <3

Introducing Whittle, voice notes that write while you talk. For iPhone and iPad. papermint.studio/whittle Say what's on your mind. The words appear on the page while you're still speaking, straight from Apple's on-device speech engine. When you stop, Whittle whittles: Apple Intelligence writes a title, a short summary on longer notes, and a filler-free rewrite of what you said, in your own voice. The exact transcript stays underneath, tied to the audio, so you can tap any sentence and hear it. Record in any language Apple transcribes natively, in its own script, with the pack downloaded ahead of time so it works with no signal. Translate any note on request, on-device, kept beside the original. Start recording from a Home Screen widget, Control Center, the Lock Screen, the Action button, or Siri. Pause and stop from the Dynamic Island. Sort notes into notebooks, search by the words you used, and bring back anything you deleted within 30 days. Nothing leaves your phone. No account, no servers, no tracking. Your notes sync through your own iCloud. The first 25 notes are free, forever. Then Whittle Pro is $9.99 once. Nothing renews.

Guess what is coming next to self host on your own cloudflare account.

Chrome is quietly rewiring the web: pages can now hand tools straight to AI agents (WebMCP). No DOM scraping, no clicking around, Agents call your site like an API. Humans aren't your only visitors anymore. Traks shows you the other half, AI agents calling your site's WebMCP tools Traks now supports it. Every agent call metered: which tool, how often, how fast, what failed. Zero config expose a tool, it's tracked. And bots? Counted by name now. GPTBot, Googlebot, Headless Chrome - their own panel, never inside your human numbers. Your dashboard just learned to watch the machines. v0.1.38 · self-hosted · free forever #WebMCP #WebAnalytics #AIagents #Cloudflare #MCP

Introducing OtterKit. Always-on webhook endpoints and instant tunnels, built for developers and their AI agents. otterkit.com It started with a problem I kept hitting: every time my coding agent needed to test a Stripe or GitHub webhook, it had to open a tunnel. What OtterKit does • Permanent webhook URLs that answer senders 24/7 with the status, body and headers you choose, verify signatures on arrival (Stripe, GitHub, Shopify, Slack and 12 more), store full history, and forward matching events to your app, signed and retried • Instant HTTPS tunnels to any local port in one command, stable subdomains, auto stop, basic auth • Replay any captured request, edit the payload, re sign it, fire it at your local handler • Pulses: scheduled HTTP calls and dead man's switches with email alerts • Payload drift detection: baseline the JSON shape per event type, get emailed when a provider changes it • Custom domains (hooks.yourcompany.com) and an email inbox on the same endpoint • A free Mac app that shows every tunnel and webhook live and stops them when your Mac sleeps Built for agents first npx otterkit mcp plugs into Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client. Your agent provisions its own endpoint, awaits the request, inspects the payload and replays it, without you touching the terminal. Every CLI command speaks --json. How it's built (all Cloudflare) Every endpoint and tunnel is a Durable Object with SQLite, so state lives right next to the connection: the tunnel is a WebSocket the DO holds open, the webhook history is rows in its own database. Forwarding transforms run as real JavaScript in sandboxed V8 isolates created on demand with Worker Loaders, no network access, 50ms of CPU. Email inboxes and alerts run on Email Routing and Email Sending. Custom domains use Cloudflare for SaaS with certificates issued and renewed automatically. Console data sits behind Hyperdrive. No servers anywhere in the path. What it costs 1 cent per connected hour, and no endpoint can ever bill more than $3 a month. Disconnected time is free. New accounts get free credits, no card to start. Try it without signing up: otterkit.com/try gives you a live endpoint in one click. #webhooks #devtools #MCP #ClaudeCode #Cloudflare #buildinpublic

ok this blew up a bit. 17k views, 358 saves, 8 self hosted installs in a day, and the first bug reports already patched. if you hit anything during deploy, DM me, i am on it. Here are the screenshots of how analytics dashboard looks like for my site after the launch.
