A great lightweight solution to a universal problem -- there's simply no way to fully test an app for all the possible environmental conditions that might cause errors (prior to a release). I like that the SDK is microscopic and doesn't require apps to ship with debug symbols. Debug symbols can increase the size of an app exponentially, so this is a huge space saver. Wayne and Jeff know software, and I wouldn't expect anything less than an elegant utility that does what is needed, and doesn't bloat up the app and cause errors of its own. I expect great things from these guys.


Agreed. HUGE problem for app developers and this looks to be a very simple and focused solution - something that's so key to get traction from the start.


Thanks! We really wanted to make sure our users get the best of both worlds - we symbolicate crash reports, provide device insights, and much more, without forcing devs to ship with debug symbols (which ends up bloating their app).
