maybe as a query string? feedUrl += '?id=...'? Not sure how to do it otherwise, with the auto-updater module.

Yeah was thinking query string. This piece of data will help us identify how many consumers of the new service are using the update-electron-app module. Also it will always be the same string, whereas a user's IP address will change.

This is awkward territory (effectively taking tracking Id's from users machines) this needs to be extremely clearly documented 👍 along with a privacy policy covering how these id's would be used

node-machine-id also has this issue which means it doesn't work on Windows machines with registry editing disabled.
