Just out of sheer curiosity, what's the ~1% of closed-source code involved with, besides these analytics? Deployment, etc?

Ben, I've used piwik(matomo) in past which is a great alternative to Google analytics and can be hosted on your server.

The thing is if you do audience based marketing that Google analytics can be helpful to create a userlist of your website visitors to show ads.

So taking analytics as example, do you think you can ever use something like piwik(matomo) instead of Google analytics?
