About

Plausible Analytics is a lightweight, open-source web analytics platform built as a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Analytics. The platform collects only the data necessary to understand aggregate website traffic — page views, referral sources, bounce rate, and device information — without using cookies, fingerprinting, or collecting any personally identifiable information. This approach means Plausible is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR out of the box, and does not require cookie consent banners for visitors in regulated jurisdictions. The tracking script is under one kilobyte, making it significantly lighter than the Google Analytics tag.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
