App Analytics
Nothing fancy... just a way to track how many people are consistently using the app.
What are the plans for this? Do you have an analytics platform selected and a list of events you want to track?
Hi @mikeakers, we are currently evaluating analytics platforms to determine what the right next move is. Is there a platform that you would recommend or have experience with? 😃
I've implemented both Mixpanel and Google Analytics in various projects. The main user of the analytics dashboards was usually the project manager, not myself, but I both seemed good to me. GA also has a free pricing tier which may be a good way to get started. What do you use for Fetlife.com's web analytics? It may make sense to continue using that tool.
As far as implementation goes, a good practice is to keep the actual analytics backend hidden behind some kind of abstraction layer. This way it's easy to switch to a different system later on without having to make changes across the codebase, and you can also easily send events to multiple systems at the same time if that's something you want to do.
