Incidents are not very helpful

Some extra context would help me understand at least if it’s a random hiccup or something I need to investigate

    Hello, thanks for actually listening, I agree with what you said.

    The never-ending problem when deploying a react product and customers start using it is that you don’t know what’s going on their side.

    Microsoft Clarity gives me a visual idea of what’s going on but when it comes to errors I don’t have what I need to actually debug.

    Honestly what I would expect is a full stacktrace the way the local environment would give it to me, not sure if it’s doable but I’m thinking out loud here.

    Also if I could see all consoe.logs, it would help me with the exact thing that went wrong.

    Usually when debugging together with a customer, you’d need to have the inspector open to see the network requests and the console logs to get a feel on where things stopped working.

    So all of that bundled within the incident would make this a very helpful incident.

    I won’t lie I think that’s what Sentry is doing - maybe - I haven’t used it extensively cause it costs too much.

    Hey there! Thanks for the feedback. Wanted to follow up on this — what other context would be helpful here?

    A couple contextual improvements that we’ve been considering:

    • Show number of times this issue occurred

    • Ability to see relevant source code

    • Timeline showing what led to this error

    Would any of those improvements be useful to you here, and is there anything else that might be valuable to see?
