App uses analytics library without any hint in README

Thank you for open-sourcing your app. I noticed that it makes use of an analytics library but I am not sure what it does or what its purpose is.

The README contains no hint to telemetry being used whatsoever. I think it would be really useful for people to know what analytics are being gathered so that it is easier for them to make an informed decision on whether to use your app.

Hey! Sorry for the lack of info. Just added this yesterday to get a better sense of how many people are actually using this. This is actually an analytics service I built a while ago and it doesn't collect any sensitive data: https://nucleus.sh/transparency Will update the README to mention that :)

Do you collect user prompts?

Nop, nothing inside the openai webview. Just number of users basically

@vincelwt How many users are there?

Just checked (hadn't in a while) - as of today, almost 40k total users and ~3k daily active users. About half of users are from China interestingly
