This week brought improvements to the analytics dashboard and website experience. We added a fully-featured changelog page integrated with Notra, unified the navbar across the docs and main site to reduce confusion, and fixed several bugs affecting chart display and API reliability. Under the hood, we cleaned up logging and made the API more resilient to edge cases.

Databuddy changelog: March 6-13, 2026
This week brought several reliability improvements to the analytics dashboard, including a critical fix for event charts that were silently truncating data when tracking many event types. We also improved device categorization, solidified error handling for API key scopes, and refined the insights engine context for more useful recommendations. If you're tracking multiple custom events or debugging device tracking, these changes will make a difference.
Highlights
Fixed events trend chart cutting off with many event types
The custom events trends query was silently limiting results to roughly 11 days when tracking 14+ event types. The query default limit was 100 rows; with ~14 event types over 30 days, this truncated the entire dataset. Bumped to 5000 and fixed org-level filtering to show accurate trending data.
Improved error handling for API key scopes
Cleaned up MCP protocol integration issues and clarified error messaging when API keys lack required permissions. Better defaults on scope requests mean fewer cryptic auth failures.
Better loading state feedback
Improved visual feedback during data fetches so users know the dashboard is working when requests take time.
Fixed device categorization for tablets
Tablet detection was miscategorizing some devices. Now correctly identifies tablets separately from phones and desktops.
Sharper insights engine context
Refactored event page context and consolidated tooltip utilities to give the insights engine better information for generating relevant recommendations.
