New open source mobile analytics project: Countly
gorkem
Maintainer
Hi
Gideros developers are contributing to an open source mobile analytics project, Countly (http://count.ly). Currently in private beta, this product helps mobile application developers track and monitor their applications in real-time. Countly will initially support Android and iOS devices, but more will come. It'll also track events in the near future, so for example Alex Zheng will easily be able to know how many people really passed 28th level in his Evil Bee game
What you see currently in the demo (including the backend, server scripts and upcoming SDK) will be open source, and you'll be able to install it on your own server running Linux, MongoDB, node.js and nginx. This will give you greater flexibility if you want to protect your own data.
Please have a look at the features, and especially the demo, and post your feedbacks in this thread - negative or positive. We are working on this open source project with a great passion and hope you'll like it too.
PS: We are planning to integrate the SDK in Gideros Studio, once it's ready. Surely we'll let you know about it.
PS2: Flurry won't be removed from our Gideros Studio.

I love that it's open source but really I hope you have plans to make money on optional hosting or something? I only ask in the interest of Gideros being around for a long time in the future

Countly open source mobile analytics project is now public. Just download the source code and give it a try. Countly is used to track mobile applications, users, sessions, retention, carriers, devices, countries and more.
While Countly is used to track live products as of now, it may include some bugs, so try it at your own risk. I'd say, go install it on a Linux server from scratch and let us know if you have any issues. Later we'll incorporate Countly SDK in Gideros Studio also.
Documentation efforts are ongoing, so please bear with us

Installation is very smooth now - you only need a fresh Ubuntu
Is there any plan to support, in a future version, MySQL or SQLite?
Countly will probably never support an SQL database. It'll continue running on MongoDB and Node.
1. Countly API Reference Guide (http://support.count.ly/kb/reference/countly-server-api-reference): Allows you write your own dashboard, or your own Tracker SDK for another platform.
2. Countly Roadmap (http://support.count.ly/kb/reference/countly-roadmap): Still draft, but gives an idea where Countly is heading to. Gideros Studio will also support Countly in the near future.
3. Countly Features (http://support.count.ly/kb/reference/countly-features): Name says it.
Use Countly on a test server which doesnt run Apache, as it uses port 80.
- There's a new user management system now (see screenshot on twitter)
- A nice read on why we didnt use PHP or Tornado, and go with Node.js

There's also a demo you can play with. I encourage you to have a look:

If someone wants to write a Gideros Studio SDK for Countly, I can happily help with. For a comparison, Android native SDK is only 290 lines of code ;-)
Can't wait to try it out on my Gideros game.
if yes then it probably could be done using @ndoss REST API class:

The biggest advantages are that, Countly is real-time, that's you can see analytics in 10-second delays (others can have delays in terms of days, like Flurry, you can only see the results the other day). Plus, you can install the server to anywhere you want, in your premises or Amazon S3 cloud. Of course, being open source, you can make custom modifications to suit your needs.
I expect to release my first game in sept, so I'll have custom events. Nice
Self hosted has a disadvantage too though, you have to make sure your server is up all the time

There you'll see a list of languages. Translation is easy and can be finished at most within an hour.
Your help with Countly open source mobile analytics platform is greatly appreciated
Gideros Studio SDK is coming soon.

Changelog:
* Added localization support. All the pages have 100% translations in the
following languages: Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese,
Spanish and Turkish (https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/countly/).
* Added city level location information to countries view. City level
location information is available only for the country selected in
timezone configuration of an application.
* Added ghost graphs for all the 6 time graphs on the dashboard view. A
light gray graph will represent the previous period. For instance if "30
days" is selected, ghost graph will show the stats for the previous 30
days.
* Added current month to the available time buckets.
* Optimized total user calculation for date ranges other than current
year, month and day which already show the absolute number.

$69 per month for count.ly sounds quite expensive.

I have discovered is now in https://github.com/Countly. Which version should we use with Gideros?
