Make tracking opt-in

See original GitHub issue

Would you consider making tracking opt-in? I realize that this will significantly reduce the amount of data you’ll get, but I feel pretty uncomfortable with any software that sends data to a third party by default. And I’m sure I’m not alone. Feels pretty shady honestly.

I would say you could make a prompt in getstorybook that asks: “Are you ok helping us understand how you use react-storybook by sending us anonymous usage data?” It can even default to “Yes”.

In any case, I would definitely prefer a flag that is --track if I want to send the data, rather than have to add a flag --dont-track to opt-out.

Tracking has been completely removed.

As a privacy advocate, I almost always opt-in when given the opportunity.

See Homebrew’s experience with this. Being upfront is the best approach, IMO. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11566720
