Measurement ideas
Track completion rate from URL paste to successful download (or honest failure). Segment by device class to see whether developer implementation notes changes outcomes on phones vs desktops.
If you publish changelogs, reference guide #63 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.
Affiliate disclosures if you monetize
FTC-style transparency applies in many regions when you recommend VPNs, converters, or hosting. Place disclosure near the first affiliate link, not only in Terms.
Use plain language: “We earn a commission if you buy through this link.”
Logs you should never store in plain text
Full watch histories tied to email addresses are toxic data breaches waiting to happen. Aggregate counts and hashed identifiers where analytics require persistence.
Publish a retention window (“delete server logs after 30 days”) if your host allows it.
