If you haven't taken a look at the Dashboards tab in your Honeybadger project yet, now is a great time to do it. Our new project overview dashboard combined with Insights automatic instrumentation makes it super simple to see your app's health at a glance.

🌇 Portland, thanks for the great memories! Another XO Ruby event for the books filled with incredible speakers, community support and full-hearted weird.

Went to @xoruby.com in Portland, and it was a blast! If you get a chance to go when it's near you, I highly recommend it!

I had a blast at @rmrubyconf.bsky.social and @xoruby.com last week. It was great to see old Ruby friends and make some new ones.

Also, I'm pretty sure that was the first time I've attended two conferences in the same week. :)
