Telemetry and Nudges built into Chamber

Telemetry API

Chamber periodically sends back usage information to its telemetry server to monitor usage. It does not send any information related to your data. Following are the data points that it sends back:

• Operating System: Which operating system is Chamber running on (Windows, Linux or macOS).
• Platform Architecture: The CPU architecture - is it an Intel/AMD machine or an ARM one.
• Program Version: Which version of Chamber is running.
• Edition: We plan on a closed-source edition later on. However, for now, only one edition (open) is available.
• Vault Public ID: This is a unique identifier for your vault which cannot be used to learn anything else about your data.

We plan to use this data to understand how Chamber is used and to plan our future development focus areas.

Nudges API

Chamber also fetches data from our server periodically which are called “Nudges”. Nudges are small bits of information that can be displayed on various parts of the web UI. As of now (version 1.0), there are 3 places where the data can be shown:

1. Trash Page: Trash as a feature is not yet implemented. When it is available, the trash page will show the message.
2. Starred files page: Starred files as a feature is also not yet implemented. When it is available, the page would start showing the message.
3. On the sidebar: A hyperlink to another page (a link to Chamber’s website mostly) in orange color might be shown on the sidebar in the files view. The intention is to visibly alert the user to upgrade to a newer version with more features or bug fixes, or something else that might be important.
