    Leapp is the DevTool to access your cloud

  • Hello everyone, I'm the maintainer of an open-source DeveloperTool (https://github.com/Noovolari/leapp)

    With a heuristic of 7000 users daily, I started feeling the need to have more information on how Users are using the project to improve it.

    Is it the right thing to do to create a better Developer Experience and gain feedback for the end users?

    On a side:

  • insomnia

    The open-source, cross-platform API client for GraphQL, REST, WebSockets, SSE and gRPC. With Cloud, Local and Git storage.

  • I don't want to see the post just from the PostHog side, which is biased by definition.

    VSCode and Insomnia(https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/pull/5416) taken as electron-based App examples are doing the same with an opt-out telemetry.

    As said by them: "Visual Studio Code collects telemetry data, which is used to help understand how to improve the product. For example, this usage data helps to debug issues, such as slow start-up times, and to prioritize new features"

    What are your thoughts on that?

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
