AppTelemetry is a new service that helps app and web developers improve their product by supplying immediate, accurate analytics data while users use your app. And the best part: It's all anonymized so your users' data stays private!
Hi I'm Daniel! I worked at various privacy-conscious companies such as @getkeepsafe and @cliqz because I love creating cool things without selling out users' personal data.
After going indie, I wanted to know how my apps were doing, so I hacked up a quick dashboard of how many users each app had per day, what were the retention numbers, which kinds of features did people use? All of this of course armed with the experience of how to run statistical analysis of large anonymous datasets to get the insights I wanted without compromising user privacy.
Privacy is super important, but this also has a net benefit: You don't need to throw up a banner asking for permission to share users' private data if you never upload that anywhere to begin with.
After hacking on the dashboard for a while it occurred to me that every developer who does not want to use the big free analytics tools kinda has to create an analytics solution themselves, or just use Apple's, which is nice but doesn't give you a whole lot of data.
So I set out to change that. Huge apps already have their own analytics, but what about medium-sized and small apps? After quite some wrangling with big data tools to be able to accept a really large number of signals/events and still have good performance, I present to you AppTelemetry. Tell me what you think, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
This looks very useful, congratulations on launching! Especially with App Tracking Transparency now fully in effect on iOS 14.5, I am on the lookout for new analytics solutions and this seems great.
