Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sorry about that. Will relay this to the team. We're mostly a mac shop, but definitely hear you.

"We're mostly a mac shop" is probably the worst excuse you could give.

You must seriously lack imagination if you can't think of a worse excuse.

Sorry to be that guy , but the monospace font stack used for e.g. logs is... not optimal for Windows: IBM Plex Mono,Menlo,DejaVu Sans Mono,Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,Courier,monospace ...will end up being "Courier" and that's not good in any way, shape or form. Consolas, Cascadia Code|Mono, even Lucida [Sans] Console are much nicer, and would spruce up the Safari experience for some segment of your audience. Plus, not…

what is wrong with courier?

I'm curious: Why don't you have a PHP SDK? You know, the language that runs over 70% of the internet.

There is one? https://github.com/highlight/highlight/tree/main/sdk/highlig...

Oh nice, I didn't see it listed on their website, so I assumed there wasn't one.

Hi, this looks really nice as an alternative to Sentry. May I ask why the Docker-based setup requires Go, Node and Yarn on the host machine? I find it unfortunate that I have to install such non-standard tools on a machine to be able to run a setup that is based on Docker. This makes the whole setup way more complicated than it should be.

Would this be useful to Shopify Shop Owners, those who buy 3rd party/additional apps on the shopify app store (or any similar such services, like an etsy store)? Can this be used as a pen-testing tool to Highlight-TraceRt through a {target url}? -- Re: Yeah, though what benefits would surmise a Shopify Shop Keeper could get from your service, or do you think this is a tool that Shopify Corporate should be using on th…

Our browser client would help with tracing what network requests are being made by said apps since it would capture all network requests. However, Shopify may restrict what our browser client can do in your frontend store (I'm guessing that the 3rd party apps are added to a shop as iframes or are otherwise sandboxed).

I build Shopify apps, it depends on what kind of app it is, but if it’s on the storefront then it’s generally just injected through an async javascript script tag. They don’t do any iframes or sandboxing on the storefront, although they’re definitely moving toward more privacy-conscious APIs.
