Actually, the editor strips out Javascript for safety reasons which unfortunately, makes it so users can't add GA. We're working out whether we should make exceptions when we do the strip or provide in-house stats.

Why not just accept the GA id in the settings page and inject the code at the right place yourselves?

Though simple in-house page view stats would probably work better for 99% of your target audience than having to sign up for GA.

+1 - this'd be _way_ more compelling for me if it had some sort of analytics integration. Doesn't _need_ to be Google Analytics, but that's probably the easiest choice...

(perhaps there's a business opportunity, do a deal with someone like getclicky.com - have a simple signup/installation of their tracking code in exchange for a revenue share...)
