Hi guys, I've been working on a self-hostable web analytics platform since the start of this year after being frustrated with Google Analytics and Plausible.

I've packed a bunch of cool web analytics features into Rybbit, but I've tried very hard to keep the interface simple to use,

Aways a fan of alternate options, this looks quite tidy! I had a few thoughts / queries. Not at my system right now but I will test it out later.

I noticed in the screenshots you have a "users" page - but with a cookieless tracking system I would have assumed it wouldn't be reliable to identify a long term user past individual sessions? Are you doing some hefty finger printing?

Looking at your features table has a few statements that might need adjusting. Such as GA4's segmentation sequencing / filtering can be quite complex, I'd argue its not limited and potentially more advanced than Rybbit (not tested yet). It also has a user exploration feature.

Do you have any plans for a drag and drop style report creation, so that I could create reports with any dimensions / metrics and filter accordingly? I think that would bring a lot of flexibility to the platform for an individuals bespoke needs.
