Opt-in analytics and crash reporting

[ifd3f]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a developer, it would be very nice to have ultra-fine analytics on how people use Caligula. This could be stuff like:

• usage frequency
• keystrokes
• types of files written
• crashes
• performance
• system information

and so on.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'll self-host a server to collect analytics and crash logs. TODO: find an appropriate server

The data will be recorded regardless of opt-in or opt-out status, but it will not be transmitted unless the user consents. Look, the log files are already detailed enough to reconstruct this info, so you might as well just record it in a more structured format anyways.

Guaranteeing enthusiastic and informed consent

• The config file that I will Eventually(tm) make can have a blanket opt-in flag.
• When the program crashes, it will ask for consent to transmit logs and user analytics.
• I may have a "🥺👉👈 pls send me data to impwove da sewvice owo" checkbox that the user can check during setup. That may be a bit too aggressive though.

Furthermore, there will be a little blurb I'll prepare that describes what kinds of information gets transmitted when you send that out.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I categorically refuse to make these analytics opt-out or forced. Since this is a specialized piece of software meant to cater to a small category of people, the small amount of data collected from the few who would opt-in (and some friends I badger into opting-in too) would be more than enough data to work off of.
