ga-lite probably does not work with the v4, but it's not tested yet.
ga-lite uses the Measurement Protocol API, which seems to have a new version 4 in alpha at the moment.
Haven't checked yet if those are backwards compatible, but you're on the safe side to assume you'll need to use the old UA tag with ga-lite
Considering this is for a fun project, that sounds like the perfect opportunity to test something that might very well be broken
Ok, just checked the new API and it seems to be a lot different from the current one that ga-lite is using.
I'm tagging this as out of scope for myself now, but if anyone's interested in working on adding V4 support (probably based on the UA-
/G-
prefix) I promise to welcome the addition warmly.
How about a new project: ga4-lite
?
ga4-lite
sounds great! I'll definitely link to it from ga-lite if you'd create such a project
Update: ga-lite compatible Google Analytics is now planned to be sunset.

I would rather just drop Google than figure out how to change to their new thing.
So is this compatible with GA4 or not?
Absolutely not
Absolutely not
Is there something else like ga-lite which does support GA4?
Or do I need to create an old school UA tag?
