Support routine for adding W3C user timing events to a site. Includes some basic polyfill support for browsers that don't support user timing or navigation timing (though the start time for non-navigation timing support could be improved with IE < 9 to use IE's custom start event).
// Support routines for automatically reporting user timing for common analytics platforms
// Currently supports Google Analytics, Boomerang and SOASTA mPulse
// In the case of boomerang, you will need to map the event names you want reported
// to timer names (for mPulse these need to be custom0, custom1, etc) using a global variable:
// rumMapping = {'aft': 'custom0'};
(function() {
var wtt = function(n, t, b) {
t = Math.round(t);
if (t >= 0 && t < 3600000) {
// Google Analytics

This is the example contents of the Rakefile, which you would use to run active record tasks without using Rails. It assumes using the same directories as rails uses: `db/migrate`, `config/database.yml`.
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'active_record'
include ActiveRecord::Tasks
db_dir = File.expand_path('../db', __FILE__)
config_dir = File.expand_path('../config', __FILE__)
DatabaseTasks.env = ENV['ENV'] || 'development'

A description of the data written to the Reporter App Dropbox save folder.

#Reporter Save File Schema

##The Reporter Export File

Reporter saves to your Dropbox account with plaintext JSON files, one for each day. When a Report is entered in the app a file is created for that day if it does not exist. Otherwise, the report is appended to the existing file. The save folder is located in 'Dropbox/Apps/Reporter-App/'.

Reporter save files are named according to the following convention:
