Show HN: YAAT – Privacy-first analytics for EU companies (need for beta users)
I built YAAT for EU companies that can't of send data to US servers or being locked into pre-built dashboards that can't answer custom questions.
What makes it different:
Direct SQL access to your data. Not just pre-built reports – write actual queries against your raw events. Want to know which UTM campaigns convert best for mobile users in Germany? Write the query, get the answer, save it as a dashboard panel.
Full analytics stack:
Web analytics: pageviews, sessions, traffic sources, UTM tracking, device/browser/geo data Error tracking: JavaScript exceptions, unhandled promises, stack traces, filtering by browser/version Performance monitoring: Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS, INP), page load times, TTFB
Custom dashboards: Drag-drop panels anywhere. Time series, bar charts, pie charts, maps, tables. Monaco editor with SQL autocomplete. Export data as Parquet files – full ownership.
Privacy-first: EU-hosted infrastructure (no data transfers), GDPR-compliant, no cookies needed, lightweight script (<2KB).
Domain verification via DNS ensures only your sites can send data.
Current state: Beta with 7 verified domains tracking production traffic. Looking for 10 EU companies to test for 3 months free.
Want feedback on SQL interface and what analytics patterns matter most for your business.
