Use UUID for tracking number of Esmska users #289

Closed kparal closed 9 years ago

We could generate UUID for every Esmska user and send it when checking for
updates. This way we could have very precise idea about how many users use
Esmska and how does it change in time.

Are there any privacy concerns regarding this idea?

Because this ticket is about Esmska itself (Java desktop program), not its webpages.
Of course I use Google Analytics for the webpages. But it would really help me to know
the real number of users (not just estimate distorted by dynamic IPs and proxies) and
the the composition of operating systems, java platforms, favorite gateways, etc.

I do not see any privacy concerns so far with using UUID
