I am announcing Telesink, an open-source, real-time event tracker for the small but important things that happen inside a product.
I have wanted this for my own projects for a while: one simple place where I can see what is happening right now, without opening analytics, logs, or a chat app.
You’ll be able to hook up your projects and watch live events like:
- “People are signing up”
- “Payments are flowing”
- “MRR is ticking up”
- “New trials are starting”
- “Users are completing onboarding”
- “Form submissions are coming in”
- “Subscribers are renewing”
- ...and many more.
A Cleaner, Real-Time-First Approach
Unlike analytics tools, Telesink is not trying to answer every historical question. It is about the present moment. Something happened, and I want to see it immediately.
In practice, this replaces the read-only bots I kept wiring into Slack, Discord, or Telegram. Those bots work for a while, but they always end up feeling like a hack.
Open source and self-hosting
Telesink will be open source (license) and free to self-host. I also plan to offer a paid hosted version so the project can sustain itself.
Right now there are still plenty of unknowns. That is fine. The idea has been sitting in my head for months, and I am ready to start turning it into something real.
I will build it in public. Follow along if this sounds useful to you.
