Litlyx/litlyx
Powerful Analytics Solution. Setup in 30 seconds. Display all your data on a Simple, AI-powered dashboard. Fully self-hostable and GDPR compliant. Alternative to Google Analytics, MixPanel, Plausible, Umami & Matomo.
Litlyx is a self-hostable web analytics platform built on Nuxt (dashboard) and Node.js (event consumer), positioned as a cookie-free alternative to GA4, Plausible, and Mixpanel. It tracks page visits, custom events with metadata, and real-time users, with an AI chat layer on top for querying your data. Aimed at developers who want something lighter than GA4 but more flexible than Plausible.
The event metadata system is genuinely useful — attaching arbitrary key/value pairs to events and then querying them through the AI chat is more practical than building custom dimensions in GA4. The self-host path is one docker-compose command and the tracking script is a single script tag, which is about as low-friction as it gets. Cookie-free by default means no consent banner required in most EU contexts, which removes a real operational headache. The consumer service handles GeoIP lookup locally via MaxMind's mmdb, so geolocation doesn't require a third-party API call per event.
The last commit was December 2025 and activity looks sparse — for an analytics tool you're trusting with production data, a quiet repo is a yellow flag. The AI chat feature is the headline differentiator but there's no documentation on what model it uses, what data it sends, or whether self-hosters run it locally or call an external API — that's a real privacy hole if you're self-hosting for GDPR reasons. The dashboard is Nuxt/Vue but the rest of the component list suggests heavy shadcn-vue scaffolding with thin domain logic on top; it's not clear the AI layer adds much beyond natural-language wrappers around standard aggregation queries. No export or webhook support visible in the directory tree, which limits integration with anything downstream.
