History
Matthieu Aubry receiving an award for Piwik at the 2012 New Zealand Open Source Awards

Piwik was released in late 2007 as a replacement for phpMyVisites, with full API support, a cleaner UI, modern graphs, better architecture and better performance.

On 21 November 2008, SourceForge announced the availability of Piwik as a hosted application for developers.[7][8]

Piwik was selected SourceForge's Project of the Month for July 2009.[9]

In August 2009, Piwik was named among the best of open source enterprise in InfoWorld's 2009 Bossie Awards.[10]

In December 2012, Piwik started crowdfunding for requested new features.[11]

In September 2013, Matthieu Aubry and Maciej Zawadziński, the CEO of Clearcode, founded Piwik PRO. It provided support and features for the open source Piwik. Clearcode bought out Matthieu Aubry in June 2016 to become the sole owner of Piwik PRO.[12]

In January 2018, Piwik was officially renamed as Matomo.[13]

In late 2019,[14] Matomo released a WordPress Plugin called Matomo Analytics, which allowed WordPress users to host the open source analytics platform directly in their WordPress Installation.

gollark: Okay, too bad, don't let them do much based on it I guess.
gollark: The "paradox" conflates "letting people say things you dislike" with "letting them act on it/ignoring it/not countering it sensibly/whatever else".
gollark: One definition of "tolerance": allowing people to say things.Another one: agreeing with what someone says or whatever, which isn't actually very similar.
gollark: > popper's paradox of toleranceI have never really agreed with this. It is strategically equivocating tolerance.
gollark: There are standards about illegally obtained evidence. This discourages people from going around obtaining evidence illegally.
