Hi everyone 👋,
I’d like to share :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}, an open-source project focused on building a privacy-first, developer-friendly tag manager.
OSSTag aims to be a modern alternative to traditional tag managers (like GTM), giving teams full control over their tracking and event pipelines without relying on opaque third-party scripts.
🔍 What is OSSTag?
OSSTag is an open-source tag management system that lets you:
- Collect and manage events without loading third-party trackers in the browser
- Self-host and fully own your data
- Avoid cookies, fingerprinting, and hidden scripts
- Build analytics pipelines that are more transparent and privacy-respecting
✨ Key Features
- ✅ Fully open source (MIT licensed)
- 🔐 Privacy-first by design
- 🧑💻 Developer-friendly (TypeScript, modern web stack)
- 🌐 Server-side and unblockable tracking
- 🏗️ Designed for self-hosting and extensibility
🆚 Why OSSTag instead of traditional tag managers?
Traditional tag managers rely heavily on client-side scripts, third-party vendors, and browser cookies. OSSTag takes a different approach by enabling server-side event collection and routing, making it:
- More resilient to ad blockers
- Easier to audit and customize
- Better aligned with modern privacy expectations
