I got tired of cookie banners so I turned my SaaS analytics into a pixel town
I kept staring at analytics dashboards that were just... charts. A cookie consent popup nobody reads, a wall of graphs, and a "MRR" number that's supposed to make me feel something. It didn't.

Dev.to reports that a SaaS analytics tool creator grew tired of cookie banners and consent popups that cluttered their analytics dashboards. In response, they built PixelGrowth, a pixel-art town that visualizes traffic and MRR growth without the need for cookies or consent banners. The tool aggregates traffic and revenue data into a living pixel-art world, where each visitor is a passerby and every customer is a new building, with revenue milestones unlocking landmarks.
The creator emphasizes that once individual visitor identification is no longer necessary, there's no need for cookies, and one script tag is all that's required to implement PixelGrowth. The tool is still in its early stages and welcomes feedback.
