Analytics

To help improve the project and learn how its being used, I've added Analytics in hackertray. The --dnt switch disables all analytics so that you can opt-out if desired. All data is collected anonymously, with no machine id or user-identifying information being sent back.

You can take a look at hackertray/analytics.py file for the tracking code itself.

Data is collected using the Mixpanel service. This page will always contain an updated list of events that are being tracked, the reason behind it, and the data included by each event.

event	description	data
launch	hackertray is started as an application	hackertray version, all command line arguments passed, linux distribution information, default browser name, current timestamp, mixpanel API version
quit	quit event is triggered when the app is closed	current timestamp
visit	when a URL is opened from the app, including the update and about urls	url visited, current timestamp
