Add automatic error log reporting and user log submission button #110

Description

@yedidyakfir

Summary

When the app encounters a failure, logs should be automatically sent to the developer for debugging. Additionally, users should have the ability to manually send logs along with a description of the error they experienced.

Features / Details

  • Automatic log reporting on failure: When the app crashes or encounters an unhandled error, automatically collect and send relevant logs to the developer
  • User-facing "Send Logs" button: Add a UI button that allows users to manually report issues
  • Error description field: When the user clicks the button, show a form where they can describe what went wrong
  • Log collection: Gather relevant application logs, error traces, and system context to include in the report

Use Cases

  • App crashes unexpectedly — developer receives logs automatically without user intervention
  • User encounters a bug or unexpected behavior — they click "Send Logs", describe the issue, and submit it
  • Developer can correlate automatic crash reports with user-submitted descriptions for faster debugging

Implementation Considerations

  • Decide on log transport mechanism (email, webhook, external service, etc.)
  • Define what log data to collect (last N lines, error traces, system info)
  • Consider privacy — ensure no sensitive user data is sent without consent
  • Add rate limiting to prevent log spam
  • UI placement of the "Send Logs" button (settings page, error screen, persistent footer, etc.)

Tasks

  • Design log collection strategy (what data to capture, retention, format)
  • Implement automatic error detection and log dispatch on app failure
  • Build "Send Logs" button in the UI
  • Create error description form/modal for user submissions
  • Set up backend endpoint or service to receive and store log reports
  • Add user consent/privacy notice before sending logs
  • Test automatic reporting with simulated failures
  • Test manual log submission flow end-to-end
