@Tarang it would be awesome if you could open-source the server-side and dashboard. Ref: http://crater.io/posts/dYm68KSQS9HqznjNg/comment/HiymCDfQzFR6pYzgA

Oh dear not again. Once in a while we have these huge users who use up all the server's resources and cause it to crash.

@lorensr I've considered this i've added a couple of things to let it be possible. I've been going for a very simple setup. The server dash & mongodb setup kind of ruins the whole ease of setting it up. If i can make this part easier I would certainly OS it.

I'm also a bit stuck with contributors I've tried to get people to help with the project If I do OS it but whenever I have a conversation about it with someone it sort of dies out in a week or two.

Would be helpful if I can get someone to help with this!

One way to do it is the way houston (https://github.com/gterrono/houston) does it. I don't like it integrated that way because it adds to your app client's download size.

You could keep simple setup an option, and allow people who install tail:core to chose between your server and their own server. If they choose their own server, then you give them instructions:

git clone url-to-tail-server-code
cd tail-server
meteor deploy myappname-analytics

And then they tell their app to send data to myappname-analytics.meteor.com, perhaps with a Meteor.settings entry, and they go to that URL to view their dashboard.

Looks like there are a couple people seriously interested in working on this on the crater.io link, including the OP, who made Telescope.

@Tarang I planned to use tail for activity tracking but just noticed its down. To bad you haven't found people to contribute. I don't know if you have help now but I will like contribute. I think its a great package and I will very much like to support it.
