Hey Imre, How does the discreet spectator mode work in practice? I can see it being useful for observing natural user behavior, but I'm wondering about the ethical considerations and how you ensure participants are aware they're being observed. Congrats on the launch!

Does Fred’s behavioral analytics include session recordings for mobile users as well? It’d be great to know how it handles that! Curious!
