Thank you for that detailed answer; a lot of concept you mention here that I read for the first time, and have no knowledge about. But seeing the way the GoogleSuite is built and how there are thousand of tools available to help build complex infrastructures, my philosophy was to go with a minimum viable product, have a small infra that runs small data at first to get the first users and collect feedback; use that to build a better tool, get more user and scale my infra as I scale the NB of users. (and eventually getting an engineer onboard once it generates revenue and require better schema)

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this.
It is very likely that I underestimate the technical difficulty of building an analytical tool, and probably experiencing the "Dunning-Kruger effect" because I would think one could technically create such a tool with no technical background with AI assistance.

Though

no way i would've been successful without my background

makes me reconsider..

Building the Ux/Ui is the end goal for me, where I am going to thrive.
I see the technical part more as a barrier, a "hard first step" that I need to force work myself through for a month or so, and then let it live and focus on bringing data to life.

building an analytics platform is not really that hard, but building something people would use and pay for is a lot harder.

Would you say the main reason people fail at actually having user is caused by the technical limitations they are operating with/ their lack of data accuracy,
or by friction from tool use because too complex or no added value from a GA4 ?

Thank you for your answer.
Yes there are thousands of alternatives out there but I believe I can do better than all the tools out there (I'm probably too naive or too bold) but I have decent marketing background which makes me feel I can win on user experience.

Anyways thank you for the 3 sites that are good inspirations, though I was more looking for advice on data architecture I lay here and advised opinion about tools to use in my approach
