I am not a fan of Google analytics. It feels bloated, even more so for a personal website. After going through a lot of it’s alternatives, I think that umami is one of the best choices. Umami is self hosted and in this article I’ll go through the steps of setting it up. I hosted the umami client on vercel and the database on a digitalocean droplet. I didn’t opted for managed database in digitalocean because I plan to play around with the VPS in the future(maybe self-host an email client).

We can mention the Github personal access token’s name and the scopes in the query params.

After a while, I got a chance to dabble in CLI development. I was working on interviewstreet/ghs which is a Cross-platform CLI tool to generate a Github profile’s stats and summary.
