Investigate error reporting with Sentry

[hawkins]

How cool would it be if errors were automatically reported to Sentry, such that I could track what caused crashes in the app? I think it would be super cool and helpful for ensuring the tool works reliably, and something I've been wanting in more and more of my repos as users report issues I should have caught ages ago, but I have a few concerns...

• privacy is in question, so i would have to disclose exactly what is transferred (easy, it's open source, so just say it and link to code)
• users have to be able to opt-out easily and be given instructions
• if possible, consent to telemetry at install so they know it's there would be nice.
  • or maybe better, at login

Things I would value having in crash reports:

• exact command line call
  • this means lard bookmark "website name" "url" "description" tag tag tag...
• lard version
• ruby version
• dependent gem version(s)
  • realistically, this should be something I can control, and may add no value, but users can subvert gem requirements manually, so it could be beneficial once in a while, though rarely.
• any non-identifying options set in ~/.lard.yml
  • so not your user ID nor token nor anything you authenticate with. I don't care who you are, just why the app crashed
  • but any other config (limit, default_folder, or anything else I add in the future) would be beneficial and fair game for tracking

Things I would never track:

• User ID/ API tokens

So, this whole thing just feels like it has to be done carefully to ensure that I'm not infringing on any self-imposed rights to privacy. I.e., I value my own privacy so I'm valuing users' here too, and want to be very explicit about what we're tracking

Again, as I'm planning right now, this would only be reporting exceptions. Not logging how many times you bookmark specific sites or anything creepy like that - just exceptions/crashes.
