I am now looking at https://nullitics.com (https://github.com/nullitics/nullitics) to jump away from Google Analytics, and quite like it. For self-hosted option I would probably use GoAccess. In general, I like the trend that more and more alternatives appear, competition is never a bad thing.

I don't know which one came first, but Nullitics and Plausible are pretty much clones of each other. Almost identical layout but with different styling.

Definitely not any of them being the first. SimpleAnalystics and Fathom also have similar layout and came before both.

Anvil looks really promising. I wonder why doesn't it use "linearLayout {}" instead "v<LinearLayout> {}" syntax?

I'd guess because Anvil began as a Java project, and Kotlin is what provides the sugar that allows Anko to provide a nice DSL.

Almost correct. I never thought of this kind of syntax sugar initially. But technically (and people posted an issue about it) it's possible to generate functions like linearLayout() etc from android.jar for Anvil/Java. This will work with Anvil/Kotlin as well.

I plan to keep v<Class> anyway because it works nice with custom views when there is no generated syntax sugar.
