Manpages Anonymous Analytics: Privacy-First Insights for Developer Documentation
Manpages Anonymous Analytics delivers them. It captures real usage data from manual page lookups without storing personal information. No IP addresses. No user IDs. Just clean, anonymous metrics. You see which commands matter, which flags get read, and which sections are ignored.
Most analytics tools fail in developer environments because they demand invasive tracking scripts or external dashboards. Manpages Anonymous Analytics works where engineers actually live: the command line. It pipes events through a zero-retention backend, so you get aggregated trends without risking trust.
Installing it takes minutes. Embed the collector in your manpage source. Events push to a lightweight endpoint. The system compresses and batches them for efficiency. The result: low-latency insights you can query or send to existing analytics pipelines.
The power is in the aggregation. Over time, patterns emerge. You can see feature adoption curves, outdated documentation, or commands nobody touches. No more guesswork. No more blind updates.
By keeping all data anonymous, Manpages Anonymous Analytics also meets compliance requirements out of the box. It respects the user's space while giving maintainers a clear view of real-world usage. This approach makes it possible to improve documentation without compromising privacy.
When you operate at scale, small changes in documentation yield big improvements in user productivity. Anonymous analytics turns continuous documentation optimization into a disciplined, data-driven process.
