Hey everyone ! We are trying to make internet a better place for everyone by helping web-developers in finding and solving javascript related problems on their live websites/apps and also helps them provide a bug free experience to their end users.

You mention that Google Analytics uses image URLs to send data and the limit is 1800 characters. It's actually 2083 characters in IE, and 20,000+ characters in other browsers. We use the image tag for similar reasons as well, and wrote a component that chunks up the data and can send out large amounts of data this way with no noticeable hit on the user's machine.

@city41 If you subtract the host information this size is further reduced. As IE has more than 20% of the internet traffic, this is a big limit.

Yes, you can definitely hack things as required to make sense for you, but google analytics doesnot do that automatically.

That is true, about the host info.

btw, now that I've been to the demo page, every time I return to www.debuggify.net, I get redirected to https://www.debuggify.net/dashboard/debuggifydemo#/projects

I think it is logging you into a demo account. You need to logout.

yes, you need to logout. After logout you will be redirected to homepage

I realized that, I guess my point is it's odd behavior. I would still want to get to the homepage if I was logged in. I'd especially want to get to the homepage if I was logged into a demo account. I was trying to show a coworker the homepage.

I agree, I have added it to my todos.

I was one of the early users and can definitely attest the analytics + error traces work really well.

I think the major differentiator here is that many products just focus on analytics and some on errors but bringing both on a single screen gives a developer much better insights.

This is a great looking product. You might want to have a native English speaker proofread the homepage, there are some sentences that either contain typos or feel unnatural.

"Advance Error Tracking" "through setTimeout and setInternval" "The errors tracking" "This come in handy"

Thanks for mentioning it. I will take care of it.

This will definitely a relief for a product like ours - one of the modules of our product works inside Gmail...

yeah, true

How is this different than: http://www.errorify.com/ ?

Debuggify does much more than just tracking javascript exceptions through window.onerror.

For starters

- provide apis to track custom exceptions though try catch

- enables you to track errors for cross origin scripts

- support minified code through source map

- track the users so its easy to understand the impact of problem.

- supports modular logging same as server side

- track custom events

- search though the data

And much more

Check out documentation to know more

What's the difference between this and ranger.io?

Debuggify is all about tracking problems when users using you website in live environment and help developers to fix them as well. Its can be called Crashalytics for Javacsript driven applications

Whereas Ranger.io seems to monitor URLs, if the url doesnot open it will report

i have seen the product, looks very helpful.

Thanks, Try it out and give some feedback.

tried it for my blog. Looked good.

Cool

looks good idea. will try it out.

Thanks
