  5. Cool idea, seems like the next logical (or rather the first) step in the current analytics pipeline. This being said, your doc could do with some fixing / editing : > https://www.avo.app/docs/help/faq Bad copy pasting of "Does Avo send my events to its servers?" instead of "Why does Avo want me to input my analytics tool API keys?" > https://www.avo.app/docs/reference/languages Those are documented in detail in TBD.…

  7. > I've been frustrated at the absence of any integration with my eng teams build/CI systems or really any automated way to catch problems at the PR or code review stage.

First, understand what the goal of the user is, and what metrics they'll want to look at to understand their progress towards that goal 2. Reliable: You only have one shot to get this one right. As soon as you present incorrect data to your users, you've lost their trust foreve…
