A way to allow end users to report issues. #313

It would be nice to allow users to report issues (through a link somewhere in the budgeteer). Redirecting to the GitHub repo however is not a good solution as end users cannot be expected to have GitHub accounts or create accounts just to submit a problem.

https://gitreports.com/ This app would allow us to do just that. Users get a public link that brings them to a form which they can fill out and describe the issue. The issue is then posted to the GitHub issue tracker automatically and the end user never even sees GitHub. I tested this on my own repo and it works. However , there is the matter of permissions, as this app requires access to the repo. I'm not sure this is quite ok.

I realize this is not really neccessary at the moment, but most apps have built in ways to report issues/bugs.

This would mean publish to the API key with the code or only allow it in known installations, would it not?

It is not tied to any particullar installation, but rather to the repository itself. No API key must be published with the code :)
