It took me almost a year ( once again ) to have a new version, but this time I did the things properly, I’ve restarted the tool totally from scratch, I re-did the dev environment, I re-coded the detections code, I changed the CSS Framework, I updated the JS backend.

There have been hundreds of commits, hundreds of hours , and so much fun and learning in the process. If you ask me the main features beside the more accurate reporting are the new Preview Enhancer and the new full support for Google Analytics 4.

In the other side, I’ve reestructured the whole tool allowing me now publishing standalone functions/ fixed individually ( which was not possible before and the main reason for not having some regular updates ).

The are a lot of new cool stuff in the upcoming features queue, so stay tunned :).

Now, before listing some of the new stuff, I would like to mentioned that you can support this tool in some several ways,

Buying me a coffee : Yep, I can’t stop eating or even dring, but I won’t go far without my daily coffee doses.
