I work at Google (on Firebase) but I am asking this question as a regular mobile developer.
What do people on HN find acceptable in the apps they use? As a developer I want some basic analytics and crash reporting so I'm not just stumbling in the dark but I would hate for my users to say that I'm tracking them involuntarily. Is there a way to strike a balance that seems fair? Are there particular services people trust?
- woutr_be 7y agoI think it all depends on what you use that data for. I have no problem with a developer tracking me throughout the app, as long as they use the data to improve their app. The same goes for crash reporting. But as soon as that data is sold, or used to somehow push sales or content, then it becomes a problem for me.
