"to log and send data to Takipi's analysis servers" ???!!!

Is this for real?

I'm surely going to send all my private code, data and who knows what else to your servers! I have been waiting for this since forever, and I'm glad to have this opportunity now!

And... it slows everything by 5% constantly?!? To basically take a core dump for later analysis? (in case it's not obvious, such a thing should have no overhead whatsoever when fatal exceptions are not thrown)

Lol, is it 1st April again?

You know, preferably it should actually make your servers run 5% faster :)

Seriously though. Did you really expect a tool that continuously monitors your app and can produce stunning and relevant information about states leading up to a crash to have no effect on performance?
