Add user tracking #156

Open sarahmonster opened 9 years ago

This looks really interesting: http://aspiringwebdev.com/user-analytics-for-your-rails-app-with-ahoy/ but I'm not really sure how to implement it so that I'd be able to see data.

Any ideas for user tracking/usage data with a rails app? I'm not finding a lot of really good resources for this sort of thing.

Google Analytics with custom events might still be the best bet, honestly. I’ll have a read through this though and see how it’s better.

GA just rarely means anything to me—I think because there are so many features and honestly, I'm not super well-versed in them.

I'd like an easy way to see what functionalities people are using, where they're clicking, etc etc. I'm not sure how suited GA is to that, and I'm open to a tool that's a bit simpler.

That said, I don't much want to build my own stats dashboard. Learning GA might be faster, if less gratifying.

Makes sense. Can you add me to any GA account for suitor you have and I can take a look at implementing this one?

Done. I'm not sure how to set up whatever event tracking or whatnot we'd want. I hate GA.
