Status

• install and build in progress

• run npm run pretest to see build warnings/errors.

I'm going to dig into this, but first here's some notes on working in this repo:

• Include the build in your branch.
• Make PR's to test.
• For QOL, can you separate the formatting changes and the code changes into different commits?

Apologies for breach of convention. Can do. I believe my VS code is auto-formatting on save so I'll have to parse that out. Best Evan Jones Website: www.ea-jones.com

After working on this with Evan, we couldn't get a successful build. The opentelemetry package requires perf hooks, but we couldn't find any polyfill in the rollup ecosystem that supports it. We concluded that adding otel would require migrating to a different bundler.

We instead updated an example webpack site that injects otel info into userale logs. Check it out here:
