Telescope dev here. Completely understand why you'd roll your own solution, but just want to point out that Telescope can be made private just by checking a checkbox :)
Good stuff. I like telescope. Largely the reason we rolled our own is for us to easily integrate it with our auth. We use a bunch of internal tools, and having them integrated with our Treehouse auth is really nice. Not having a separate user database for each tool is great for getting people to use it, and managing new employees and the employees who leave the company.
Telescope was my favorite of the choices I saw. Great work.
