Powertools, Tips, and Tricks Notes:
User experience monitoring tools:
- Fullstory - JS you drop on your page that records user session.
- Integrates with other services (like bugsnag) so, for example, when you see an error appear in bugsnag you can go and watch to see how the user created that error.
- Is an external service that you need to log in to to view user sessions/videos/etc.
- Ahoy - User metrics on which parts of your app they are interacting with.
- You have full control of the data it records -- you can send it to your database, kinesis, etc.
- Heroku sends data through a proxy (if you are worried about adblockers preventing you from getting user metrics) and then feeds the info into segment.io
