Polished UI and landing page design
From 3 comments
The only pimple on this beautifully designed site is the lack of a favicon =)
dwynings on HNI've only played with both for a few days, but to summarise: Proxino's UI is drastically nicer, whereas errorception has been around longer and is more reliable. Proxino is still…
lucajona on HNI really like the landing page and the video. I'm not sure how the product itself can be better than window.onerror+Google Analytics though.

Demo video is good

Who made your demo video? It is quite good.

Bundles full jQuery in the tracking script, hurting performance
From 2 comments
Seriously, the beacon/tracker JS requires the whole jQuery (1.7.1)? https://www.proxino.com/p.js
cheeaun on HNWow. jQuery is 80% or more of the whole file. It could be loaded asynchronously, and completely avoided if it's already loaded (which is very likely). Worst of all, it uses…

Existing tools like window.onerror plus Google Analytics or Sentry already do this
From 3 comments
For hackers: ``` window.onerror = function(m, f, l){ var err = JSON.encode({ message:m, file:f, line:l }) (new Image).src = '/errors?e='+err } ``` For Google Analytics users: ```…

Hardcoded localhost domain is a problem for dev setups
From 1 comment
Looking forward to trying it out, but the fact 'localhost' is not changeable is tough since nothing I build is direct on 'localhost'. typically it's site.dev or a local version…

Does not handle minified code, cross-domain script errors, or mobile browsers
From 4 comments
How does this work with minified/obfuscated production code? Some of the other comments suggest that proxino is listening to and logs on 'window.onerror'. If that is the case, I…
delambo on HNQuestion: The service has a workaround about the errors with the message "Script Error." in scripts hosted on externals domains (for example, a CDN)?
leandono on HNdoesn't work with mobile browsers(most of them) that don't support window.onerror
MarxGames on HNDoes this handle cross domain errors? We're currently doing this in house but some of our script errors are very nondescript as some of our JS is hosted on another domain.

Loggr
From 1 comment
Personally, I use Loggr (http://loggr.net) for tracking errors and events. You can tag your events however you want so it is really easy to track user sessions and so on.
