Good question, and honest answer: partly.
Events only get accepted from your registered domain, so anything you do on localhost or a staging URL gets rejected before it ever lands in the data. Bots and AI crawlers go into a separate table too, they never touch pageviews or achievements. Goals also show completions and unique converters side by side, so 5 QA clicks read as 5 completions / 1 converter.
What's missing is an "ignore my own visits" toggle. If you QA on the live domain, those hits count. And there's no dedup on repeated events, achievements fire on raw counts.
On a small site that matters. Putting it on the list, thanks for the push 🙏
(no "first 10 conversions" milestone yet either, right now it's first custom event and 1000 events. Kinda like your idea better)
@cosmicfilms thank you! I haven't seen anything like it so far so I thought I build it!
Would be awesome if you check it out!
Hey StartupBase 👋 I built XPMetric because I was tired of analytics that felt like spreadsheets. It turns your website traffic into an RPG — you earn XP, level up your sites, unlock achievements, and keep your streaks alive. 🎮
It's privacy-first (no cookies, GDPR-friendly), and every milestone becomes a shareable card you can post on X. Would love your feedback — what achievement would make you want to screenshot your analytics? 🚀
Cool idea! We all need a reminder to get up regularly. Landing page is top notch as well. Well done!

@usepoach Thanks Camille, good questions!
Export: yes. Every milestone card has Download image, Copy image and Copy link. Each one also gets a public share page with its own image URL, so you can post or embed it anywhere, not just on X.
API: not for cards yet. The API (and our MCP server) covers stats, timeseries, breakdowns, goals and funnels today. An achievements endpoint is a good idea. I'll put it on the list.
Revenue + conversions: yes, most achievements aren't about pageviews at all:
Revenue: first sale, 10 sales, $1K total, an MRR ladder from $1 to $100K, subscriber counts, growth streaks, zero-churn months. These come from Stripe or Polar, or from revenue events you track yourself. Conversions: your first custom event, then 1,000 custom events. Also: traffic, streaks, countries, AI bot visits and site health.
One small note: cookieless is the default, but you can switch any site to cookie mode if you want visitor journeys across days. It's your call, per site.
