Clarity
Clarity is a behavioral analytics library written in javascript. It helps you understand how users view and use your website across all modern devices and browsers. Understanding how users navigate, interact and browse your website can provide new insights about your users. Empathizing with your users and seeing where features fail or succeed can help improve your product, grow revenue and improve user retention.
Clarity provides you all these insights by:
- Observing content layout, viewport, and user's interactions with the page
- Inspecting network requests on the page
- Logging the event stream in JSON format to a configurable endpoint
Clarity is a project in active development. While it's not yet ready for production use, we continue making improvements and encourage the community to join us in the process.
Examples
Here are some example sessions on popular websites visualized to demonstrate the telemetry captured:
-
CNN (Web)
-
Cook with Manali (Mobile)
Project Goals
- Enable a generic solution that is able to capture telemetry from third-party websites
- Encourage participation from open-source community
- Minimal configuration required by third party web-sites to get started
- Mobile first
