Does anybody know if there is a way to understand what users are doing on my web page? I can see overall stats with Google Analytics but I can't really understand what users are looking at, if they are reading my content, etc.
Does anybody know if there is a free or paid service that I could use?

You could try using one of the analytics things that does heatmaps.
These give a visual representation of where people are clicking on the site, and I think some may let you track where the cursor is as well.
This is about as close as you can get to what you want - there's no way to track what someone's eyes are looking at,
Wikipedia claims that google analytics can do this. I've not seen it in analytics, but it may well be hiding there somewhere. I have used clicktale a bit before though:

Try Mouseflow. You can even record your visitors and watch the videos. Haven't tried it but looks promising.
The Site Overlay report in Google Analytics is probably what Wikipedia is referring to. However, it doesn't work most of the time (it's a "piece of crap" in Google's own words).
ClickTale is okay. I recommend CrazyEgg: http://crazyegg.com/

This seems like it should be a simple question, and I apologize if this is stupid to ask, but I have been scouring seemingly every corner of the web and still have absolutely no idea how to even begin saving pictures.
For my specific case, I am working in React Native and an important function of the app is to take pictures and save them in a manner where an admin account can later access those images.
I sincerely have no idea how to do this. I know you can through AWS S3 Buckets, but I've heard nothing but bad stuff about them, ad my current experience on AWS is pretty rough so I'd prefer avoiding that. I tried something called contentful, but never was able to determine how to connect to the API from inside my code. Supabase was another option, but the Client simply refused to work, and it still seemed overly complicated and i wasn't easily able to find any JS code that would upload. Now I'm working with Cloudify and I was able to find the code needed to upload pictures to it... but I have no idea how to create an account with the proper storage / organization and then extrapolate the information later. I feel like this shouldn't be as convoluted as it is, does anyone have any suggestions, ideas, or experience with Cloudify?
try firebase from google. fireship (name similarity coincidence) channel on youtube has convinient and easy to understand tutorials about firebase.
At the beggining I'd like to say it's not an emergency :D
I was thinking about project ideas recently. Projects that I could try to create to learn something more, something new or just to leave my comfort zone. I've picked notes app project that support handwritten notes. And here's the first problem, my little knowledge can't come up with idea how to store these handwritten notes in database.
Database or other technologies haven't been picked yet so there is no "How to store it in MySQL?" and so on... just theoretically thinking how it could be done. I was looking in google and here on stackoverflow but didn't get nothing similar, just some questions how to verify or recognize handwritten notes.
Has anybody any idea or lead I could go by?
Here I am assuming your "handwritten notes" are images. A simple solution might be uploading your images somewhere (e.g. Amazon S3, but there are countless options out there). Then, in some database you might have a reference to the URL of the image. In your code you can then download the images using the URL and process them as you see fit.
Note: I am making many assumptions here but I hope this helps.
I'm concerned - when I take a picture, I usually (ie, last week) am able to share the image to my app.
Now, however, only Google + contacts appear as share targets. For example, if I turn off sharing to G+, I get no Share options at all, only a greyed-out Share dialog that says "Visit google.com/myglass to add friends"
However, when I go to that address I clearly see my app and a number of contacts (who aren't in G+) who also usually show up.
Has something changed to cause this behavior? For example, is the code listed in the starter-project no longer sufficient to register a share target for photos?
For example, I could imagine that suddenly the acceptTypes[] parameter was now mandatory. But I'd love to hear someone closer to the API weigh in, if possible.
Thanks!

I solved this by following Alain's comment's advice.
It's very easy to think that the "Contacts" page you see at https://glass.google.com/myglass is all there is.
But if you want your app to receive shared stuff, you have to go here: https://glass.google.com/myglass/share
i'm trying to find a good UAPROF website but only i can see that http://www.uaprof.com/ . I need UAPROFS of HTC and in that web a lot of links are broken. Do you know another web or resource to find that UAPROFS ?
Thank you in advance for your attention.
The Open Mobile Alliance validator keeps links to validated profiles. However the manufacturers do remove old profiles, or in some cases the manufacturers no longer exist, which is probably why you are seeing broken links at uaprof.com.
Google is another good source of profiles by searching for "uaprof filetype:xml" and "uaprof filetype:rdf".
Alternatively check out WURFL. This is not UAProf, but the data is derived from UAProf, it's XML so it is easier to process, and it is curated so it will not have the same problems.
There are more UAProf resources at the DELI website.
So, here is the task I've found myself thinking of. Pretend for a moment, that I have a large body of content. I want to see what websites are linking to my content. I know that I could look into TrackBack or PingBack but what about those that aren't using tools capable of dealing with that?
It would seem that some form of Web Crawler that looks for pages linking to the original document might be useful. My question to the greater community is what would be the best way to get started here? Do TrackBack and PingBack do more than I assume? Are there services or tools out there that already do what I'm thinking?
Google is your friend!
Use the link prefix:
link:whatsite.com
And yes, trackbacks do more.
If you have HTTP referers setup in your logs, you can mine them.
You can even discover pages taht does not know about.
Else, there is the paying Linkscape from Seomoz or the free majesticSEO (if you confirm ownership of the domain).
MajesticSEO has a bigger backlink index and an API (need to login!).
