    so i bought shipfast few weeks ago and noticed something, there is no error tracking included in the stack, i mean this is good for "shipping fast" really but IMO , i feel error tracking should be included especially for launch day traffic. Most users might encounter bugs and errors on launch day , and not having a way to track it is risky(you will lose a lot of customers) and as humans , we dont have that time or patience to text support or try again, we just leave the site and never come back

    so i wrote a guide on how to add error tracking to your ship fast stack using Bugmail.

    chose bugmail cos i built it and its very simple to use and indie friendly , you can literally get started with 4 lines of code no config hell, or bloat or confusing dashboards (bugmail is just an interface that looks like gmail ) so the way it works is ;

    when something breaks in prod , i get an email , i go to my dashboard , see the stack trace , user context and breadcrumbs(this way i can see what the user did ) and an ai analysis of the bug and suggested fixes

    basically a 2 minutes setup , so while you're shipping fast , you can get notified when something breaks
