Summary

The Sentry team has developed a new User Feedback widget that allows developers to collect feedback from end-users and link it to rich debugging context in Sentry, providing valuable insights into user frustrations and bugs. This widget is particularly helpful for small development teams looking to rapidly iterate on their product. By using the Feedback widget, developers can provide direct insight into user frustrations and help create a more polished user experience. The Sentry team uses this widget to identify edge cases and deficiencies in the UX, such as handling hexadecimal SQL table names and injecting HTML at the end of JSON responses. This feedback has helped improve the performance product, including updates to queries, web vitals, and resources features. The Feedback widget is now available on all web-based platforms and can be easily integrated into Sentry initiatives using a simple setup process.
