 * I was delighted to come across Koko Analytics, after years of loathing the data
   Google Analytics scooped up and irked by the fact that I had to install Jetpack
   just to get some simple, attractively-displayed stats from my WordPress site.
 * The fact that Koko Analytics is self-contained, and not reliant on a third-party
   service, is a huge plus to me. I’m going to make Koko Analytics my “pick of the
   week” on my next podcast.
 * Cheers!

 * Hey Graham,
 * Awesome, thanks so much for making Koko your pick of the week. Pretty stoked 
   to see 2 things I worked on in a single podcast episode of yours (Koko Analytics&
   Fathom Analytics). 🙂

 * My pleasure Danny. If you’re interested, here’s my story of how I found Koko 
   Analytics.
 * I was looking for a more privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. I tried
   various services, but many of them collected and presented far more data about
   visitors than I desired or needed. If anything, too much information was a turn
   off for my needs.
 * I stumbled across an article in Fast Company from early 2019 about some different
   privacy-focused website analytics platforms. One of these was Fathom, which I
   checked out specifically because the article mentioned your name (which I knew
   and respected from the Mailchimp for WordPress plugin. I don’t use MailChimp 
   anymore but it was a great plugin)
 * Fathom looked great for my needs, and I was all set to sign-up with them when
   I checked out your website and saw that you had also been working on your own
   plugin that didn’t suffer my one quibble with Fathom: that it relies upon an 
   external service.
 * So, Koko Analytics wins. Thanks for doing such a great job with it.
