Hi HN – I'm looking for anonymized usage analytics for iOS that doesn't conflict with my views around privacy.<p>Goal:
To understand what features in the app people are appreciating/engaging-with, and where in the app people get stuck. In gist: to facilitate accessibility and feature discovery.<p>The old route is Firebase analytics or Facebook events tracking – but I don't want to be part of this surveillance economy. I'd like my products to be part of the solution to our privacy problems.<p>Any recommendations? Thanks, y'all.
Well I may as well answer my own question with the research I've done thus far.<p>First, it appears that even privacy advocates just use Google Firebase. (Yeah, hypocrisy is abundant.)<p>Matamo.org is the top contender I found for privacy-conscious analytics. Basically, you have immense control over the integration, so you can accomplish any privacy goals you'd like.<p>Other potential analytics tools (not necessarily privacy-conscious) include segment.com and Mixpanel.com. Many of the other ones were recently acquired by Google and are now shutting down.
