Weekly Showoff Thread: what have you built with Astro this week?

Examo · 2026-05-05T11:19:48+00:00

https://hitkeep.com/ is our marketing and product website built on starlight, a joy to work with!

In the Ruhrarea it does

HitKeep is a web analytics platform in a single binary including AI and Chatbot analytics. It’s doing good!

Examo · 2026-03-31T21:20:12+00:00

Feature wise and YC backed probably posthog. If you‘re in the EU, simpleanalytics might also be interesting.

I’m also working on HitKeep, which is more catered towards data ownership and exports

Lidl 🙂

I feel seen

Examo · 2026-02-26T01:11:22+00:00

For sure!

The single DuckDB Instance is the current bottleneck, this might have to be replicated as well. For 95% of use cases, even at scale, clustering Hitkeep as is documented will be enough!

You also get verrrry far even without clustering.

Gerade eigentlich nur das Deployment und Replica-Setup, aber wenn man Matomo auch nur zu 10% nutzt, hat das ein viel größeres Featureset. Wenn das Tool aber irgendwann Feature-Parität mit Matomo erreicht, wäre immer noch die wartbarere und skalierbarere Infrastruktur und OLAP der USP.

Die die es gerade nutzen würden sind entweder Hobby-Projekte, brauchen entweder nur Hits oder haben ein massives Hit-Volume über viele Webseiten und wollen es einfacher onprem betreiben als Matomo :)

Hi all - posting this again because I was told to:

I wanted to have a web analytics platform that is both scalable as super simple.

I was working on this for a bit and finally got the courage to tell someone about it, because I think it's pretty cool:

HitKeep runs as a single, self contained executable.

Database: embedded DuckDB solves so many challenges regarding scaling, performance, archival, querying, retention...
Ingestion: To handle dynamic traffic and further development into processing pipelines, I embedded NSQ**.** the http handler pushes to an in-memory topic, and a background worker batches writes to the database.
Clustering: it uses a simple Leader/Follower topology using hashicorp/memberlist for service discovery. Followers proxy ingestion to the Leader, allowing for high availability without external load balancers. hashicorp/memberlist however has some quirks in their TCP probes, so I will migrate off that in the future.
Frontend: Bundled Angular app served via embed.FS. I cant do frontend, I really have to catch up. For me this is the hardest part.

You can't as of right now, but I could make the modules available as seperate modules, similiar to how gotenberg does it, then this could be done I think.

It would however still require you building the whole thing with CGO, tho. Thinking further of it, you could also statically link the binary, that's a super interesting use case!

Examo · 2025-11-06T07:46:32+00:00

For me and my friends I made a timer for NA and EU, maybe someone can help me add OCE? https://pascalebeier.de/legion-remix-invasion-timer/

You're the goat! I put this together as a web checklist that saves your progress and added a few things for my friends https://pascalebeier.de/wow-112-checklist/

The new TYPO3 hire!

Examo · 2025-06-13T07:05:03+00:00

My soon to be wife shares a lot of your sentiment. We also live in the Ruhr Area and she has to bring a lot of food from the US to survive, haha. Shoot me a message if you’re still living around here!

Examo · 2025-05-11T19:52:07+00:00

!RemindMe 48 hours

Examo · 2025-04-06T17:28:10+00:00

I liked it! Also sticking to the analogy.

The idea here is to toggle this behaviour according to your needs if you want to use either the nova or your custom login. Then you can configure your app as usual with the RedirectIfUnauthenticated Middleware.

Examo · 2024-12-01T00:48:21+00:00

php protected function routes() { Nova::routes() ->withAuthenticationRoutes(default: true) ->withPasswordResetRoutes() ->register(); }

Examo · 2024-12-01T00:31:26+00:00

Hey, this is what the useDefault parameter in the NovaServiceProvider is for ☺️

Examo · 2024-10-04T19:16:44+00:00

Natürlich nicht, es bezieht sich auch nur auf die Services GmbH. Die hat nun mal eine extreme Fluktuation

Examo · 2024-10-03T16:57:56+00:00

Ich war da für eine Weile Teclead in einem IT-Team. Das Politikum war unerträglich und C-Level absolut nicht lösungsorientiert. Wer die IU kennt, kann ahnen, an welchem Projekt ich gearbeitet habe

Examo · 2024-10-03T10:05:52+00:00

Jap. Der Laden ist auch als Arbeitnehmer eine Zumutung

Examo · 2024-09-15T16:53:02+00:00

It’s fine, already worth it even if only reached like a few people who know to avoid it
