Wish I could get this same reporting for Javascript and get out of Sentry. Maybe one day! Firebase Functions being able to debug to Crashlytics would be cool.

Armin from Sentry here: would be curious to hear what we can do better.

I’m genuinely curious why you would want this? For context I’m the founder, CEO, and original author of Sentry. We provide an immense amount of data for every platform and hear the exact opposite of this sentiment (“id love to use Sentry for my mobile apps”). We’re long past the days of one vendor being able to accomplish every problem (there’s evidence everywhere that this is bad) and while I appreciate competition in the space that’s far different from expecting whichever provider you choose to be a one stop shop. That’s besides the point that Sentry is open source and we’re the only option out there for a lot of people. If it’s simply you think Firebase can do a better job than us I want to know why. If it’s consolidation then ask yourself why shouldn’t Google work with others instead of trying to own every space in every market? There’s a lot more value in specialization than there is in checkboxes, especially if it means working with a wider ecosystem. I mean this as no slight to Firebase as I’ve quite enjoyed prototyping things on the platform, but I can’t get behind the idea that Google or anyone else should hold a monopoly over our ability to write software and build businesses.

What do you not like about Sentry? Just curious.

If you're looking to get more context on exceptions in JavaScript, you could try LogRocket (https://logrocket.com https://logrocket.com). Similar to how Crashlytics' breadcrumbs feature records user actions leading up to a crash, LogRocket records user actions, network requests, console logs, DOM, and application state in web apps.

I echo this as well. Would be very nice to have Crashlytics for web.
