3 | + | |
4 | +Errbit is an open source, self-hosted error catcher. It is [Hoptoad](http://hoptoadapp.com) | |
5 | +API compliant so you can just point the Hoptoad notifier at your Errbit server if you are | |
6 | +already using Hoptoad. | |
7 | + | |
8 | +Errbit may be a good fit for you if: | |
9 | + | |
10 | +* Your exceptions may contain sensitive data that you don't want sitting on someone else's server | |
11 | +* Your application is behind a firewall | |
12 | +* You'd like to brand your error catcher | |
13 | +* You want to add customer features to your error catcher | |
14 | +* You're crazy and love managing servers | |
15 | + | |
16 | +If this doesn't sound like you, you should probably stick with [Hoptoad](http://hoptoadapp.com). | |
17 | +The [Thoughtbot](http://thoughtbot.com) guys offer great support for it and it is much more worry-free. | |
18 | +They have a free package and even offer a *"Hoptoad behind your firewall"* solution. | |
