For backwards compatibility reasons could all edits be tagged 'mobile
edit' and could we append additional tags for app edits?
e.g. mobile edit, mobile web edit
mobile edit, mobile app edit

Hey everyone,
Howie and I were chatting today about the users we're expecting on Apps.
We suspect that the nature of the app will attract a different user base
from Web and perhaps also Desktop, and that may mean we need to tailor the
features that go into the app to that user base. We'd like some data to test
that hypothesis
Right now the tagging system just tags all edits are made on mobile, and
there's no way to distinguish between apps and web. We'd like to change
that.
Splitting the tags would allow us to identify users that edit just on apps
and figure out if they are actually different. All in all, there's potential
for creating some really awesome data to analyse.
My preferred solution is for us to have three tags for Mobile: Mobile Web,
iOS App, and Android app. That way, we can generate usage statistics really
easily for both iOS and Android independently of each other, and also
compare those to each other.
There is also the possibility of tagging all edits as mobile using the
current tag, then additionally tagging edits as iOS and Android
respectively. That makes the numbers between Web and Apps harder to compare,
so I prefer the first option.
Thoughts, guys?
Thanks,
Dan
