Adaptation ideas

What to apply to your own product

  1. Idea: specialize session/error diagnostics for one frontend-heavy vertical.
  2. Idea: build an automated issue-to-release feedback loop from captured sessions.

Tradeoff to consider

Full-stack capture gives richer debugging context but raises privacy, data-volume, and retention concerns.

Starting route

Use the get-started path to capture one test application error and inspect the resulting session.
