       | 
       | Was the change CSS specific or was it domain specific?

       | 
       | What is your favorite tool for this?
       | 
       | I feel like years ago it was New Relic, Raygun, Sentry, etc...
       | but it feels like we never hear about these tools or companies
       | any more on HN. Is this not a sexy topic any more?

         | searched for Sentry right now, through the search, and I am
         | surprised how common it was to talk about these tools.
         | 
         | If it wasn't for the GitHub pack, I would have never known
         | about something like this. Maybe you are right, and it isn't a
         | unique enough topic now :(

         | 
         | That being said, New Relic has served us fairly well.
         | Especially if you put in the grunt work for distributed tracing
         | between the client and your servers.

         | 
         | They have a generous free tier and are open source so that's a
         | plus too

       | That report API is interesting, I've seen it used for csp errors
       | but not for browser errors, I wonder if error monitoring services
       | support it
