Add anonymous usage data to workshoppers?

[toolness]

I was just thinking that it might be useful if learners were able to opt-in to "anonymous usage reporting" which would basically send the source code and output of all their jobs (falied and successful) to a nodeschool.io server, where the workshop authors could consult it to get an idea of what kinds of mistakes/confusions users are making, so they can use the data to improve their workshops.

Alternatively it could just report the success/fail condition of the verify/run commands, which would still be useful and more anonymous.

👍 on this. I can make a pull request for this if welcome.

cool, who will host the server? :P

There's a possibility to use google analytics & use their event emitting system to collect data. I assume it would involve modifying workshopper/adventure.

We can just host it on DigitalOcean which is few bucks a month. We have some free slots left in case we are going to go with it.
