### Why Plausible?
- **Clutter Free**: Stop digging through complex reports to find what youre looking for. Plausible presents the most important information to you on a single page.
- **Anonymous**: Measure traffic, not individuals. No personal data or IP addresses are ever stored in our database. [Read more about our data policy](https://plausible.io/data-policy)
- **Lightweight**: Plausible works by loading a script on your website, like Google Analytics. Our script is 14x smaller, making your website quicker to load.

### Can Plausible be self-hosted?
At the moment we don't provide support for easily self-hosting the code. Currently, the purpose of
keeping the code open-source is to be transparent with the community about how we
collect and process data.
### Technology
Plausible is a standard Elixir/Phoenix application backed by a PostgreSQL database. On the frontend we use
[TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) for styling and some vanilla Javascript for interactive bits.
### Feedback & Roadmap
We have a [feedback board](https://feedback.plausible.io/) and a [public roadmap](https://feedback.plausible.io/roadmap).
Please let us know if you have any requests and vote on open issues so we can better prioritize.
### License
Plausible is open-source under the most permissive MIT license. There are no restrictions on redistributing,
modifying or using this software for any reason.
