Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Beacon API - don't bother?

See original GitHub issue

I think we should get rid of 2602, the analytics it can deliver can be obtained and shared elsewhere so there’s no net gain; on the flip side, it might impact performance and we had a couple reports of breakage in the past.

bonus: one less flip, one less API disabled, arguable fingerprint gain.
