Some doc updates in ignite-metrics about Countly being disabled: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ignite-metrics/pull/134
Three tracking issues that would benefit from this work: https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-webui/issues/2198 https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/issues/2743 https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-companion/issues/1315
FYI that I disabled the manual workflow that was uploading data to google spreadsheet. we no longer have access to the countly data
also need to remove countly from blog.ipfs.io
Background
The PL Inc Countly account that has been used is getting shut down 202402 because of costs and organizational changes within PL Inc. Something needed to be done about the account, and it was agreed that amongst the transitions that are happening in 2024 that the Countly metrics being collected won't be reviewed closely. In addition, there are other ways for getting high level usage of major projects like IPFS Companion (e.g., use the Webstore usage metrics) or IPFS Desktop (e.g., use probelab metrics with user-agent breakdown for Amino DHT participation).
Apps/Sites In Scope
That said, it would still be good to get metrics around the different sites and apps that had been collected previously with Countly:
What to do
An ignite-metrics adapter to Plausible should be built. This would allow an update in the properties above to a new ignite-metrics and still at least get some metrics flowing. It would also give a nice public dashboard like we have with other related projects that are already on Plausibnle (e.g., https://plausible.io/ipfs.tech/).
When to do it
This work of building an ignite-metrics/Plausible adapter is separate from shutting down the PL Inc County account. The PL Inc Countly shutdown will occur in early February. This work here to migrate to Plausible will be scheduled for later in the year, or when needed.
