Ask HN: dissertation project, simple Analytics reports. Feedback?
Hey everyone,<p>we are Chris &#38; Tim (timme) and are currently studying E-Business and Innovation at Lancaster University in England.<p>We have both been building smaller and medium-sized websites and clients oftentimes ask us about their websites' statistics. All these websites have Google Analytics installed, but people hardly ever log in. For many people, especially for smaller clients, the format and complexity of Analytics is intimidating.<p>As part of our M.Sc. dissertation we are working on an application that addresses this problem. We put an additional layer on top of Analytics by providing a "human-readable" version of the data. Every week, users get a PDF report to inform them about their website, based on the data from their Analytics profile.<p>Currently it's only a sign up page, but we already have a working version that is being refined. With a bit of luck, a beta version will be available within a few weeks.<p>It would be really great if you can take a minute to have a look and let us know what you think:
