I was very anti-analytics for my apps for many years, but I've come round again after discovering that I can use Telemetry Deck and not have the same trade-offs I was used to. Respect for the users' privacy is by far the best thing about it, but not bloating the app binary, nor slowing compile times in any noticeable way puts it far ahead of other analytics tools from a developer experience perspective. And it turns out, it's kinda nice to have high-level usage stats to make informed decisions about which features people actually use, what % of people are on older OS versions, etc.
Telemetry Deck is clearly designed to be a win-win for developers and their users! I'm planning to launch a new product shortly, and I'm very excited to be able to use TD to gain insight, and to help improve that product from day 1!
