This is a placeholder on how we want to collect metrics from Raindrop for use in product design.
#REDIRECT [[Raindrop/Community/Metrics Survey]]
 
Basic deal: we want to use this project ourselves, we like our privacy, and similarly, we respect your privacy. No distinguishing data will be collected about you, just aggregated numbers. You have control and can turn it off. Leaving metrics turned on means you get to help make Raindrop awesome without having to do any work!  http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/about/privacy-policy/ has more details.
 
Right now the latest code just logs a metric in the raindrop-metrics database. If you installed couchdb in the default configuration, you can look at what is stored in that metrics db by going to:
 
http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/database.html?raindrop-metrics
 
Right now those metrics are '''not''' sent to a central server, but that is planned for the future.
 
Right now metrics are only enabled for the inflow app, and the metrics code is done as a front end extension, rdw.ext.metrics, so you can also disable the metrics code completely by disabling the extension. Also, first time you load up Raindrop, there is some UI that lets you turn it off via a checkbox.
 
The UI will go away on the next page reload once you click the checkbox or the close button in the metrics UI. To see the UI again, you need to delete the preferences document for the metrics extension. Go here:
http://127.0.0.1:5984/raindrop/extender/schema.html#rd.pref
 
and click the "Show private properties" checkbox. Find the doc with the rd_key = ["pref","rdw.ext.metrics:inflow"]. If you click on the _id value it will take you to the futon app where you can delete that document. After doing that then the metrics UI will show up again.
