It would be very useful to add some sort of analytics to the site, to know how much it's used. There's currently nothing.

Ideally, usage should be reported without JavaScript (i.e. using server logs), but I've yet to find a hosting provider that does that (at least for free/cheap). I could of course host it myself, but I'd rather not.

CloudFlare offers Free Website Analytics, and they also have free Pages, which would solve #67.

Also, it's important that analytics are disabled when running locally. Should consider including this as part of the production build.

Eleventy also supports environment variables, which could probably be used here.

Mixpanel offers a very generous free tier, with a promising privacy policy. Probably the best choice?
