  • Product overview (what it is, why OpenTelemetry, examples of business & infrastructure metrics). interop.io
  • Docs: General Overview (architecture, OpenTelemetry compatibility, how signals flow). docs.interop.io

Scope (post here when…)

  • You’re enabling/configuring io.Insights in io.Connect Desktop or Browser
  • You’re working with OTel collectors/backends (Grafana/Prometheus/Datadog/etc.) via standard OpenTelemetry exports.
  • You’re using or customizing default metrics (app/system/platform, Workspaces/Layouts timings).
  • You have questions related to observaility and monitoring

Keep product lines clear

  • If your post is mainly about Browser or Desktop APIs/UX, use those categories. Use io.Insights only when the core is telemetry (enabling, exporting, metric definitions).
  • Say “io.Insights” in the title/first line; mention Desktop/Browser only to describe where you enabled it.
