Show HN: Fusion – Open-source user analytics and engagement suite Hello everyone, Vikas & Magus here. We are building Fusion (https://www.fusionhq.co), an open-source all-in-one user analytics and engagement platform somewhat similar to CleverTap & Sprig (UserLeap). It is built upon a simplified low-code mixpanel-like analytics engine with built-in live-chat, push-notification and email/micro-surveys. Fusion shows how your users interact with your web based products eg: page-views, button clicks, form submissions etc. But apart from this, Fusion lets you engage with a specific user or group of users who have something in common or perform a particular action, in real-time with live-chat, in-app push notification, email/micro-surveys or set it up to trigger automatically. Story : After getting rejected in Y Combinator-W21 interview and listening to the feedback we scrapped our previous project and started to work on a simplified open-source alternative to mixpanel/amplitude for startups as these platforms were a bit bloated and we could only find session based simplified analytics alternatives like plausible & simple analytics. We quickly realised that our early customers who were also startups did not want to use another SAAS platform because they were already dealing with things like intercom, mailchimp, google-analytics etc. These tools have too many features as they are separate stand-alone platforms and small teams end up spending a lot of time and money. On the other hand integration between all these platforms is crappy and third party customer data platforms like segments are expensive and overkill. We personally use & love crisp.chat not just because of how simple it is but also how it focuses on important features only and still gives an unified experience. Inspired by all these, we decided to build a lightweight all-in-one solution helping startups understand, engage, convert and retain users from a single app. Advantages/Features: Event-driven: captures user interaction like button clicks, form submission etc, not just page visits. Custom visualizations: Unlike google analytics you choose/customize your graphs on your custom dashboard. Graph type (line, bar, pie, table, count), timescale(minute, hourly, daily, weekly), dashboard name etc. Open-source: protect your user data, forget huge SAAS bills and self-host on any infrastructure. No-code autocapture: after adding tracking snippets to your website fusion automatically captures what your users are doing (eg: login clicked, pricing page-view, profile form filled) without adding extra code. Real-time engagement suite: no need to depend on 5 different SAAS apps with complex integration or expensive third party CDPs like segments. coming soon:- Live-chat, in-app/sms push notification, email/micro-surveys. Our vision is to build a lightweight all-in-one user analytics & engagement suite for startups We are featured on ProductHunt : feel free to visit our PH page here - https://ift.tt/3EmbRRh Check out our Github repository at https://ift.tt/2VGE0RA or request for free beta access at https://fusionhq.co We will continue to work with the community to build Fusion.

Show HN: Tape It, iOS recording app for musicians Hello HN, Over the last 15 months, two friends and I developed the music recording app we felt we wanted based on our own needs as musicians. It's called Tape It [1] and has just recently hit the Apple App Store [2]. We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
