Side Project Analytics: One Dashboard, Many Sites

If you are an indie hacker with a portfolio of side projects, managing analytics is either a source of insight or a source of chaos. The difference is usually whether you are running one unified setup or ten separate accounts.

Why one dashboard matters

When analytics is fragmented across tools or accounts, you stop checking it. The friction of logging into multiple dashboards, remembering which project is where, and comparing data across tools is enough to make you give up entirely.

One dashboard with all your sites means:

One login for everything
Instant switching between projects
Consistent data format across all sites
One billing line item

Adding sites to your Antlytics account

Each Antlytics site gets its own tracking ID. Adding a new project takes about 30 seconds:

Go to Settings → Sites → Add site
Enter a name for the site and your domain
Copy the generated tracking snippet
Add the snippet to your new project

The site appears immediately in your dashboard sidebar. Switch to it and see traffic as it arrives.

Switching between sites

The site switcher in the Antlytics sidebar is the fastest way to move between projects. Click a site name to switch — the entire dashboard reloads with that site's data.

Each site shows the same metrics (visitors, pageviews, referrers, top pages) for the selected date range. Comparing two projects means switching between them and noting the numbers — there is no cross-site aggregate view at this stage.

Aggregated insights

If you want to understand which of your projects is growing fastest, a simple approach: screenshot the visitor trend for each project once a month and keep a simple spreadsheet. This gives you a portfolio-level view without requiring a complex analytics setup.

A more automated version: use the Antlytics API to query visitor counts for each site and build a simple aggregation script. This is a five-minute project that pays off immediately if you have more than five sites.
