I really liked the concept of opening analytics to the public like stacker.news did, so I also installed a public and privacy-friendly analytics 3 months ago on my project https://bips.xyz

It's available here https://a.bips.xyz/share/4gjsBXbm/Bips.xyz

Anyprevout and OP_CTV need to happen. We need more people that can audit--Wasn't that part of the bottleneck with Taproot? Do you think we'll end up going to speedy trial again?

I like the BIPs, I mean, as a way for discussion and explanations for where Bitcoin should go. BUT, just as Bitcoin kind of came out of nowhere for most people, so can improvements on Bitcoin. So this sounds good to me so long as it doesn't become this:

"Wouldn’t it be nice if building on Bitcoin didn’t require getting proposals passed the developer “commitiburo” and more innovators picked Bitcoin as the best chain to build new ideas on top of? "

Again, this is awesome! Just don't want it to become a gatekeeper, you know. Umami is really cool, it's amazing the kind of stuff that's coming out in the FOSS ecosystem these days--I'm a Rails person myself, but the NodeJS options are incredible.

Open analytics are great. It's been a huge help with raising money too because it's very "don't trust, verify."

Good advice! Sadly for me, I don't think I can raise any money on this project. It's a better idea to finance bitcoin core devs
