Should we add Google Analytics to hosted app? #25

Closed xhdong-umd closed 7 years ago

xhdong-umd commented 7 years ago

Google Analytics is a widely used free service that tracks and reports website traffic. By including some javascript code in the web app, we can get some statistics about user origin(IP addresses), time spent on app or even specific pages.

The information could be good to have. However some people may not like it even it's just IP address and time spent on app.

I'm inclined to not doing it because the benefit is not essential. But I want to put this for discussion first. @jmcalabrese @chfleming what do you think about this?

I think the benefit doesn't overweight the potential problems, so no need to add it.
