Kanca is an application to analyze Facebook Group activity. Its key features are:

• Open sourced, as you can see here.
• Fully client side, hosted on GitHub pages (zero cost, no data persisted on server).
• Analyze user FB group feed behavior like most active users, most liked posts, etc.
• Analyze FB group user engagement like new users, user retention, etc.
