New users insight

[KaiOelfke]

I think it would be good to not only have daily active users in the overview, but also new users / installs / downloads. This is probably possible with custom queries, but I'm not sure how.

I agree! This fits with my plan to have more pre-packaged insights in general! :)

@winsmith Is it possible to create a new users / installs insight now, with a custom query for example?

[winsmith]

I don't think so because I can't think of a criterion that makes a user a new user that doesn't need me to look at the entirety of the data set for the possibility of the user having previously existing.

I think the way to go is to store a value on the client side. Something like "SDK has been initialized before" stored in userdefaults. When that value is missing, send a "first time user" signal.

Thanks @winsmith — yep that will work, I was just hoping I could do this without releasing an update.
