Hybrid native + web app for Plausible Analytics. Designed for elementary OS.
Plausible is the simple privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics. This app wraps the Plausible web app in a native UI, integrating better with desktop operating systems like elementary OS. Native features include:
- Icon in your Applications Menu, Dock, etc.
- Native header bar with buttons for account settings and logging out
- Save and restore current view, size, and position when closed and opened
- Two-finger swipe to go back/forward between views
Other features:
- Zoom in/out with Ctrl+Plus/Minus, and it's remembered the next time you use the app
- Slimmed down web app UI (no header or footer with external links)
Development is targeted at elementary OS. If you want to hack on and build the app yourself, you'll need the following dependencies:
- libgranite-dev (>=5.5)
- libgtk-3-dev
- libhandy-1-dev
- libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev
- meson
- valac
You can install them on elementary OS with:
sudo apt install elementary-sdk libwebkit2gtk-4.0-devRun meson build to configure the build environment and run ninja to build:
meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninjaTo install, use ninja install, then execute with com.cassidyjames.plausible:
ninja install
com.cassidyjames.plausibleBuilding is also possible with Flatpak. Ensure you have Flathub added as a user repo, then from the top-level of this repo:
flatpak-builder --user --force-clean --install-deps-from=flathub --install build-dir com.cassidyjames.plausible.yml
