Count Daily Active Users

Provide data about how many people are using Brackets by parsing the S3 logs that serve the update JSON file.

Data to parse:

• Within a 24 hour period, how many people have used Brackets?

Need to take into account:

• Scrub out the pings to the JSON file from brackets.io visits

Can we use a service:

• s3stat.com
• cloudlytics.com
• qloudstat.com

Questions

• Do we remove the processed logfiles after we extracted the usage data?
• Is it enough to use a simple UUID<->IP mapping for anonymization? Do we need to keep this mapping between reports for the next report(s)?

Things to consider

• there is no easy way to generate custom reports without inspecting all the files again, let's say "show me the usage data between May 1st and May 31th". This requires to look inside the log files to get the timestamp.
