Measurement ideas

Track completion rate from URL paste to successful download (or honest failure). Segment by device class to see whether batch download expectations changes outcomes on phones vs desktops.

If you publish changelogs, reference guide #899 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.

Reducing third-party cookie reliance

Ad networks that require dozens of sync calls slow pages and worry privacy regulators. First-party analytics plus contextual ads are lighter where revenue allows.

Document consent banners if EU traffic is meaningful.
