About

Hey HN.<p>Long-time lurker (2017) here, but finally something to post about.<p>I&#x27;ve been building an iOS companion app for Plausible over the past few months. There are some great ones out there already, but I have always wanted to try building an app first-hand. I&#x27;m quite proud of the end result, so I wanted to share it online to see if people would be interested in using it.<p>In case you don&#x27;t know: Plausible Analytics (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;plausible.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;plausible.io&#x2F;</a>) is a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics. You can self-host it or choose to use their SaaS platform.<p>I chose Plausible Analytics because of their business philosophy: Privacy should come first. Arbory is built to connect directly to Plausible (either SaaS or self-hosted).<p>Features include:<p>- iOS Liquid Glass-native dashboard displaying most of your website analytics.<p>- Tap to filter data, just like Plausible itself.<p>- Notifications for traffic spikes and drops, the algorithm lives fully on your phone. (I&#x27;m quite proud of this one in particular)<p>- Full suite of widgets for your lock &amp; home screen.<p>There are no subscriptions involved. You&#x27;ll get the full dashboard and filtering for one site for free. There&#x27;s a one-time unlock for $14.99 for the rest, if desired.<p>I&#x27;ll lurk around here to answer any questions you might have. Any feedback is appreciated.<p>More information:<p>- Website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arbory.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arbory.io</a><p>- Privacy Policy: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arbory.io&#x2F;privacy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arbory.io&#x2F;privacy</a><p>- App Store Link: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;id6760103214">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;id6760103214</a><p>Full disclosure (some people find this important): AI helped me build parts of this, but I&#x27;ve been a software engineer for 15+ years. Happy to answer any technical questions.

AI Score Reasoning

Arbory is a well-executed utility app for a niche market, but it lacks the scalability, recurring revenue model, and defensive moat required for venture capital investment. While the founder's 15+ years of engineering experience is a strong signal for product quality, the business is currently a single-feature tool heavily dependent on the growth of a third-party platform (Plausible).
