Better user-facing error reports #74

Closed yoshiask closed 2 months ago

yoshiask commented 1 year ago

Before you start...

Description

As of v0.3.3-beta, crashes are only saved to logs and embedded in the query string of the crash notification. Since the notification is the only user-facing report of the error, if anything happens to that notification (accidentally dismissed, hidden by DnD, or corrupted by a failure to base64 encode) the user is left in the dark.

A potential solution would be to persist just the unhandled exception to disk, which can then be loaded on startup perhaps with a prompt to report the error to GitHub.

Crash messages are now persisted to disk. Future versions might include a button to automatically report it, but I'll leave that for a separate issue.
