I came across http://www.muscula.com/ over the weekend, and they seem to be farther along with this kind of a product in terms of features (not to discourage you, just to give you a heads up as to what else is out there). Specifically, they've implemented a stack trace and also provide the browser/OS data in addition to the file/line/error.

They also provide a quick overview of their architecture if anyone is curious @ http://www.muscula.com/architecture

I've heard about Muscula (and I'm reasonably sure they've heard about Errorception - it's a smallish world :) ), and I'm curious to know more about how they do what they do.

That said, the architecture isn't too different. Errorception is also built on Node and MongoDB. I am not a fan of JSONP (GET) for writing data (POST/PUT), mostly because I'm a stickler for HTTP semantics. Otherwise, without too much insight into what Muscula is doing, it certainly looks like we are very similar.

Browser/OS information is rather easy to get - it's all in the UA string. Errorception captures that already. :)
