In plain words

Keen IO Analytics is a Node.js integration tool that enables developers to capture and analyze user behavior from the earliest stages of app development. The tool is designed for developers who want to quickly implement analytics without waiting until later development stages. By installing analytics early, developers can study how initial users interact with their applications and make data-driven improvements before users leave. The installation process is streamlined for speed and simplicity.

Those that want to cut to the case, should go and take a look at the project on Github here . Have you ever found yourself putting off adding analytics until an app reaches its later stages of development and you’re less busy? I think this is a mistake we all fall into all too often. In a highly competitive ecosystem, users will sometimes be with you on launch and gone the week after. By waiting too long, we can lose our one chance to study early user behavior so it’s very important that we take every opportunity we can to understand how they interact with the service while they’re around. But we also shouldn’t be wasting valuable development time installing analytics either. Surely…from keen.io
