Summary

Sentry is introducing an API to collect user feedback that can be linked with crash reports, allowing developers to fix issues faster and keep users happy. The User Feedback API provides the ability to collect user feedback when an event occurs, pairs it with the original event for additional insight into issues, and allows customization of the feedback form through a simple API. This feature is now available in Sentry's JavaScript SDK and will be extended to other SDKs such as Apple, Java, Android, and .NET, providing developers with more tools to engage with their users and improve their software. Developers can use this API to capture user feedback tied to crashes and view it through the User Feedback section of the Sentry dashboard, allowing them to respond quickly and efficiently to user concerns.
