Bugsnag (https://bugsnag.com) supports Rails, PHP, Python/Django, Nodejs, Android, iOS and Unity. Caveat: I'm a founder there.

Apologies for that, I've updated the example. Thanks for pointing it out.

We have committed to always having a free account, and the features you see today will always be available to free accounts.

We are currently thinking along the lines of charging for higher volume accounts.

Thanks for the feedback. Some good ideas here, we'll work on increasing the visibility of our features.

We'll try and add some screenshots and a demo account today.

An oversight on my part. Should now be fixed.

I had an issue where I was caching the rate limit response from github. Fixed now.

The score is calculated in three parts.   1) The reputation score is a count of the number of followers you have.

2) The contribution score takes into account the number of repositories you have. It factors in the number of watchers for each repository as well as the number of forks. It then doubles that score if you are the original owner of the repository (rather than the repository being a fork itself).

3) The gist score takes into account the number of gists you have as well as the comments on those gists.
