Founder here (1). Here's a little backstory:
We launched the MVP two years ago with this HN post:

Market demand was there but the product wasn't ready for the load yet.
Fast forward two years and now it's all "perfect". The product is now useful — even for people using goaccess or similar. The main reasons include:
1. Understanding of traction and how visitors behave before they convert. You can start optimizing the causes.
2. Faster A/B testing: Volument is an order of magnitude faster than the traditional A/B testing tools.
3. Privacy-friendly. Volument is on the same line with Fathom, Plausible, or Simple Analytics when it comes to privacy.
We've built a custom stack from scratch so this is not just another pretty face to Google Analytics data. We have full control and the door is open for pretty much anything.

1: Bit of myself: I'm a long-term frontend developer: the original author of semi-popular projects like jQuery Tools (2011), Head JS (2013), and Riot JS (2014). I'm also a co-founder of two other successful startups: Flowplayer (flowplayer.com) and Muut (muut.com).
