Updated to v0.8.12, thanks for the advice @NicoHood. For now I've just set tracking to false by default, like you mentioned, while I look at a clean way of removing all analytics (since they changed a bit since my previous removal patch). Should be possible but do not worry even without the removal tracking is disabled by default :)
EDIT: Removed amazon analytics once again, turned out to be easier then first expected :)
If any issues arise feel free to say so and I will look into them.

Thanks for the patch!
For the next version:
https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/pull/715
Edit:
in the next version you could patch browser/main/lib/ConfigManager.js to set the tracking to false by default. I think in long term it would be complicated to fully remove it. But if you can fully remove it, that'd be better :)

@NicoHood More details in this pull request: https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/commit/48ca13f82c20a04e816a263d760bab2254557801
Pushed a new package release. Found a way around the npm issue so moved back to good old npm. Also removed all of their amazon analytics, thereby also fixing the problem mentioned by @vczm. So no more analytics present which also had a great effect on the package size.

They added spy functions to boostnote? Is there any details about that? It seems I will not use Boostnote anymore with those functions.
@clone1612: We can change the source code, its GPL3. No need to ask any maker. https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/blob/master/LICENSE

@vczm That's not an error I can fix. They have added amazon analytics (which are those requests) but they only add the correct key when they package for distribution (so not provided in the source code used to build the package). Unless they provide their analytics id the requests (send by the program, not something I added) will fail.
In theory the analytics could be removed but that would be really changing the source code and I have no idea if the makers would agree to that.
EDIT: Trying to get in touch with them, will see how it goes. Even if its fixed though the requests will still be send (it's their analytics) however they will no longer fail. But working on a solution.

Still not fixed: https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote/issues/685
Why do you need to send these requests?

@NicoHood I received a bug report that installations were failing due to an npm error. Failures could be reproduced on my two systems, both with a normal attempt to install and a clean chroot. Sadly I had a bit less time in the past days so this is a (dirty) temporary fix while I look for a definitive solution to the issue, which seems to have appeared with a recent npm update. Will look into that and move back to npm if a fix is found, but for now the focus was on making it possible to install once again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Why did you switch to yarn?

Updated to 0.8.10 with a patch for the errors encountered. File size has significantly increased though, for the largest part thanks to the new amazon analytics modules. I will be however looking in the next days on ways to reduce the size, some tweaks here and there might work.
EDIT: Updated the package with an improved patch where I included a fix for the package size. Reduced size by +- 30 MiB when compared to vanilla 0.8.10.
