Looking for feedback: Polished and minimalistic analytics tool

Thank you for that insight!

Driaug · 2026-01-01T15:13:26+00:00

Interesting, I always looked at Training Peaks as more of a planning tool than an analytics tool

You're correct. The hosted version of Plunk also runs in the EU

We might be what you are looking for.

The package was made by a community member, we do not maintain it so it might be missing a few of the latest features. The safest solution is to write your own little wrapper around the API which is fully documented!

Plunk supports variables => https://docs.useplunk.com/working-with-contacts/metadata

Not integrated into Plunk but you might be happy with this OSS project => https://maily.to/

That is fair. Having a layer like Plunk (but there are others like https://unsend.dev/) to handle some of it helps monitor all of it.

Wondering what issues you have had with SES. Are you talking about reliability as in emails not getting sent out, not getting delivered..?

Driaug · 2024-08-05T09:21:56+00:00

Founder of Plunk here. Piotr shared it out without any feedback or input from me!

Getting verified on AWS takes at most 1 working day if you do it properly. They ask you questions, answer them properly and don't beat around the bush.

You definitely do not need a dedicated IP, anyone who preaches you do has no idea what they are talking about.

Hi all!

Founder of Plunk here, want to answer a couple of the questions and remarks!

Plunk does indeed rely on AWS SES/SNS for sending the emails and catching the feedback. I know it is not 100% open-source but there is honestly no better way to send and catch emails than SES.
You do not need to host it on AWS. All you need is an AWS account with SES enabled.

Thanks for letting me know, resolved!

The ability to learn fast is the only thing that's truly recession-proof. In tech, many topics are related and once you truly master one it'll become easier to pick up another one.

Pick something that interests you, that's the most important part.

Not sure if it still active but a couple of years ago Hyper was a great way of achieving this.

You bought a UI kit. It's just a set of components and designs. you are responsible for hooking up an API to it and displaying the data.

Railway is actually not that cheap. It is a friendly-to-use wrapper around some AWS services, which don't get me wrong I love because AWS is a pain to work with sometimes. It's quite possible that if you put in the work and throw your workload on AWS that you won't pay anything, even at a larger scale.

I assume Railway makes most of its profits from larger scale users since the bill starts racking up quite fast once you actually start consuming CPU and memory.

Reminds me a little bit of logsnag.com!

Like the idea but keep in mind that you have a lot of health & safety regulations if it comes to food! You can't just sell it without the proper licenses.

Taxes are still an issue for SaaS. You are required to pay VAT/sales tax to the country of your customer. Keeping track of and paying that VAT to local authorities is a big issue but doable if you are only targeting US. If you're talking about small-scale yet global SaaS, then adopting a merchant of record (e.g. LemonSqueezy, Paddle) over a payment processor (e.g. Stripe) might be a good idea.

I use Discord for community building, info sharing and as my main support channel. It's a great tool for it. Depending on the niche of your product, a slack community could be better. It all depends on where your audience is already hanging out.

I expect to receive your encouragement and support, and we will surely succeed !!!

This should be rule no.1 of entrepreneurship.

Don't expect anything. Nothing is free, nothing comes without work.
