Export or API access

Anonymity options for team data
From 2 comments
Thanks for the comment. It's evident from the comments in this thread that a lot of people would get value from this. We'll be meeting and reviewing next iterations at the…
GordyMD on HNHow about a check box to opt-out of being anonymous? Some team members might want to let their manager know their individual stats.

What does the product do exactly?
