When setting up analytics - what are the things you care the most about, and how hard is it to setup (bonus points if you tell me what you use currently)

Personally I only care about funnels, as well as page views/retention, but would love to know what you care about (thinking through something)

We use Umami.is .Very happy with how fast it was to set up & see custom events in real-time. An accessible realtime stream is basic but crucial. Will not consider a service that lacks it or makes it difficult to find. It's also important to have just enough docs. Segment is a great service but docs are a bit much.

don't take my casts super seriously please (most of them at least)

woah at first glance this looks better than all of the alternatives ive seen

ux - heatmap/ recording to see how users struggle through scenarios. The more enjoyable the UX, it will create word of mouth. microsoft clarity.
cx - emails and comms for help request and customer analytics. email for now but altas once I hit > 25 customers/week.
basic analytics - vercel

going beyond the minimal setup, id say analytics is a tool to help you learn about the validity of your assumptions.

i usually take time to set a few things i want to learn about my product every week and analytics is just one of the tools i use.

this is extremely easy to setup (i personally use posthog)

early stage products have one clear value creation moment.  

the minimal role of analytics is to answer how many times are people getting value from the product
