Hello,
I am an app developer (of the cookbook app) and I recently opened this discussion on the forum. The idea was to provide a central domain for all app developers as a starting point. One could create sub-domains for each app to be used for documentation and other, more app-specific tasks.
One such issue was my request to have the option to collect some statistics on the installed versions. This triggered a significant push-back by some users that fear that their data is leaked out. They fear that the valuable name of Nextcloud as independent and not collecting any personal data might be at stake.
I personally think this is not too critical as I would like to collect only anonymized data and any app can do so once installed. It is just a matter of willingness.
Long story short: I would like to get the opinion on this by some other devs that might have their own agenda and pain points. Maybe this could be useful for you as well.
I will post this in a few repos in order to trigger a bit of honest discussion about the pros and cons.
Christian
