We built these libraries for _Jellify_, and they're free for anyone to use in their own apps:

Opt-In Monitoring

All logging and metrics gathering is _opt-in_ by default. This is merely here to help us make _Jellify_ better.

All logs and metrics are completely anonymized. No data can be traced back to you.

Error Reporting — GlitchTip

Unhandled exceptions and captured errors are reported to the SaaS GlitchTip instance via @sentry/react-native. Error reporting is initialized at app startup and is disabled unless you have opted in to sending metrics.

All logging goes through three shared utilities in src/utils/logging/index.ts, each tagged with a LoggingContext (e.g. Initialization, Playback Reporting, Queue, Favorites):

| Function | Severity | Sentry behaviour | |---|---|---| | captureError(error, context, message?) | Error | Reports exception via Sentry.captureException when metrics are enabled | | captureWarning(context, message, error?) | Warning | Reports message at warning level via Sentry.captureMessage when metrics are enabled | | captureInfo(context, message) | Info | Console-only — never sent to Sentry |

In production builds, all console.* methods are replaced with no-ops so that no debug output leaks — logs only surface through the explicit capture call path.

Love from Wisconsin 🧀

This is undoubtedly a passion project of mine, and I've learned a lot from working on it (and the many failed attempts before it). I hope you enjoy using it! Feature requests and bug reports are welcome :)
