Use Domain Names Instead of Keys for Website Identification

I suggest OpenPanel switch from using generated keys to using domain names (like Plausible does) to identify websites in the tracking JavaScript. Domain names already uniquely identify websites, making the system more intuitive and easier to manage, especially when tracking multiple sites.

Can you elaborate a bit more what this would do? Is it just so the tracking script would be "easier" to implement? Since we support backend and native apps and what not we need a way to identify more than just websites.
