when the globe is constantly rotating, I stop it while changing the theme, so the transition is still smooth 😄

now showing notifications when new users join on the globe clicking them will focus the user on the globe ✌️

"I'm simultaneously extremely AI pilled and very bullish on humans" is the best statement I heard today

I'm ensuring that the globe experience on Vemetric will be suuuper smooth 🤌 again it's taking me longer than I would have liked, but it will be worth it :D

since today, Vemetric has its first customer on the 500k events plan! 🥳 (an existing user upgraded his plan) that's a huge milestone and I'm very proud to serve users with so much traffic :D

making sure the markers on the globe overlap each other correctly, depending on the current rotation and angle you look at them

We‘re living in times where updating your dependencies either leads to fixing or introducing vulnerabilities, you flip a coin 🙃

the hard question with a new MacBook is if you should put stickers on the clean plate or not 😬

got myself a new coffee machine a few weeks ago and oh boy I‘m enjoying it a lot :D it’s my first espresso machine, and my first time using ground coffee .. so a whole new world opened up 😬

nice what a little HN comment can do :) you can see the live results here: dub.sh/FfJP8Of not the biggest impact yet, but it's always about spreading the word and getting more eyes on your product 🫡

hello my dear

It was about time to add proper Uptime Monitoring + a Public Status page for Vemetric :D Powered by phare.io 🙌

I already wanted to rework Vemetric's landing page for some time, and last week I got a push to tackle it so there you go, I just released a new Hero Section for Vemetric's LP :D happy for any kind of feedback, especially regarding the new copy

making some progress with the new Globe view in Vemetric :) maan I'm missing working on such things more often

Monthly update for @vemetric.com: April 2026 👷‍♂️ 🌐 149 Active Projects (+6) ⭐️ 347 GitHub Stars (+3) 📈 1.973.865 Events Tracked (+736.922) 💰 $183 MRR (+$8)

the playground got a fresh new coat ✌️ what an annoying type of work 😅 but I‘m happy with the outcome :D

I did a thing :) My M1 Pro served me soo well in the past 5 years, an incredible machine .. but I experienced some friction recently, especially when running multiple projects and tasks simultaneously so it's time for an upgrade 🚀

yesterday I did it! I upgraded Vemetric's main analytics database (Clickhouse) to the latest version after letting it slip for a longer time now I'm already feeling so much more confident doing such upgrades and migrations in production with zero downtime .. feels great :)

Vemetric itself might not have a lot of daily users / visitors yet (around 150) .. but my users have! so it’s important to setup a proper and scalable infrastructure right from the start, so I can handle my users‘ traffic without a problem 💪

instead of doom scrolling while I‘m on the go / waiting, I‘m now shiny hunting Pokemon on Fire Red ✌️😄

5 years of running my own company .. crazy! time flies when you’re having fun :D

referrals via LLMs going strong today :D

I'm currently spending a lot of time and effort on DevOps topics for Vemetric on one side because it was necessary (e.g. memory leak, bloated docker images, ..), but also because I soon want to offer a proper self-hosted version for Vemetric, which should build upon a clean base 1/2

today I had my first ever onboarding call with a new Vemetric customer (he subscribed immediately without trying the product 😅) he's doesn't have a technical background, so he needed some help with the integration, and I've explained the basics to him 1/2

the past days I tried to chase the leak, installed proper telemetry + logs and scanned the codebase for reasons .. I couldn't find any yesterday I upgraded Vemetric to the latest Bun Version and voilà: the leak is gone :) 1/2

Monthly update for @vemetric.com: March 2026 🧘‍♂️ 🌐 143 Active Projects (+9) ⭐️ 344 GitHub Stars (+6) 📈 1.236.943 Events Tracked (+411.021) 💰 $175 MRR (-$7)

the last two weeks I took a step back and made a pause, even from shipping my products it showed me one thing: I have a memory leak in Vemetric's Backend 😂 (before, I did continuous deployments almost every day, resetting the RAM and silently hiding it^^)

today I ordered a zigbee stick, which will turn my Mac Mini into an even more powerful Smart Home hub :D first use case will be to use an Aqara Sensor together with a Shelly, to make my garage door smart 🙌 I love this rabbit hole^^

yesterday I did it, after >350 days I purposefully let my posting streak end, because I'm currently in the last days of my parental leave, taking a break from building, and don't have much to say now Typefully is even so cute and let me repair my streak, they won't even tell anyone :) 1/2

OpenClaw still helps me a lot with my Google Ads for Vemetric! it helps me keep track of the changes we make, suggests new edits, and helps me build the CSVs for manual conversion uploads 1/2

let the smart home action continue 😈

today I finished my first smart home setup (dimmable lights), openclaw helped me setting up homebridge and also integrate my ACs into apple homekit + my wife and I did the first preparations in our garden to make it ready for spring & summer feels good to improve and work on your own home :D

time to make my home a bit more smart and I‘m starting with making my existing lights smart + dimmable :D I don’t have much experience with these things but together with ChatGPT it’s a nice project and I‘m learning a lot!

small improvement for empty states in Vemetric: they directly let you clear filters or change the selected timeframe

now that TrustMRR supports Paddle, I was finally able to list Vemetric there as well! 🥳 sadly I'm not able to list snappify yet, as it's still on Paddle Classic 🥲 check it out 👇 trustmrr.com/startup/vem...

today is an intentional no-work monday I only have two weeks of paternity leave left with my little daughter and I try to recharge my batteries and enjoy the time off started the day playing and soaking up the moments with my daughter and now I‘m at the gym lifting weights 💪

there’s still no way around MCP when you want to integrate your product into ChatGPT and Claude right? I‘m currently building the AI integration layer, this week I released the Rest API, now I‘m working on the CLI .. and this weeks discussions made me think again: do I really need a MCP server?

my agent telling my that I'm wrong > it's telling me that I'm absolutely right

I've used one Codex chat for over 3 weeks to create the Vemetric API I really enjoy these long-running chats about one topic, so I can get as much value from the existing context as possible Codex does a good job there with auto-compaction as well!

while I'm working a lot less on snappify compared to the previous years, I still treat it as a product that is used by many (paying) users, and I want them to have a great experience 1/3

you can feel the real power of open source when people genuinely help you with their contributions! recently there's been more activity again for Vemetric, also on our Discord server, where people also volunteer and help each other, which is so awesome 🫶

The Vemetric REST API is live! 🥳 It opens up the way for programmatic integrations with your analytics data + using it to talk about it with your agents (which will get even easier with the upcoming CLI + MCP)

we invested into the safety of out kids 👌

getting feedback like this is what fuels my motivation to deliver an outstanding product experience 🫶

being able to convince 25 people / organizations to pay for my product makes me proud and confident that I'm able to convince many more!

just saw the we crossed 100 PRs for Vemetric :)

me: asking Codex for its opinion on a topic codex: great, that's enough to proceed, I'll implement it exactly like you proposed

Vemetric's API Docs are being automatically generated for every endpoint using OpenAPI Sometimes I miss not having FumaDocs in my toolbelt, but I'd also miss the incredible outcome from Astro with almost zero JS

Google Ads are starting to show some results for Vemetric! but as I want the setup to be as privacy-friendly as possible, I don't have a Google Tag running on my site, making it hard for Google to optimize for the right audience 1/2

I'm posting every day for 323 days (excluding weekends) 😳 building in public and posting regularly is something I enjoy, but I don't feel like posting something every day still, I'm in fear that if I stop, I'll let the habit slip completely :/
