What issue do you have?
For a short time, may be since version 2.14. only, my Joplin app is trying to call "home" to sentry.io with a specific and unique ID number in the url being called. While the general purpose of sentry is quite clear to me, I do still think this is a bad design choice for all those other users who cannot control network access on their computers to the granulated level of control I have on a Mac. Sentry may have it's purposes for developers (run it on their computers please), it should not be allowed (or facilitated) to gather data on ALL client devices without the users being aware of it. Not for a privacy sensitive application like Joplin. The whole concept of Joplin is about user trust. I suggest not to give up on this concept lightly.
Does the company behind sentry.io use the gathered data for more then the devs intentions ? Irrelevant.
Can the company behind sentry.io use the gathered data for other then the devs intentions ? Irrelevant.
Can the dev control what data is sent to sentry.io, once the calling home is established ? Unlikely.
Any comments welcome !
