Can I use plausible in a desktop application? I would like to have an idea of exactly which versions of an open source desktop app I maintain are being actively used so I know what to pay attention and invest efforts as I would like my users to be constantly migrating forward - we do have like 20 years of backwards compatibility so we push things forward very slowly.

I don't see any reason why not: https://plausible.io/docs/events-api although you'd have to come up with your own user-agent
I was able to do it pretty easily with a mobile app, should be just as easy on desktop. You could even register custom “pages” for various parts of the desktop app.
