Yeah, it is clear based on the script that it sets up an UUID just to show how many instances are used (see the landing page). But you are right, I add a state why it is used.

About the registration, I do not understand it. Ofc, you need to register to your own instance, otherwise how you could use it, especially as a team? Each team member needs to register.

You're in Hungary, right? I do think that like any EU country, you need explicit informed consent to gather analytics like that, and offer a way to opt out (for example via setting an env var)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I'm from Hungary. I will add an opt-out feature, but I do not think it is an analytics thing. It is used to count installed instances on the frontpage. That's all.

You most likely process PII (IP address) that is not strictly required to run the service by doing so. There is clear precedence in the GDPR for this. Doesn't matter if you call it analytics or not.

I simply don't think the number of installs is a compelling piece of information, not the least because it is gamed everywhere. To me it says one of two things: "someone installed it," or "developer spun up a zillion micro instances to juke the stats." Nothing personal, it's the reputation of the data itself.
