Advice from a fellow dev: add a crash handler and set it up for an automatic submission of crash reports (symbolicated callstacks of all threads) via HTTP POST to a server.

Better yet, turn it into something that others can use easily by configuring things like the server to which send the reports.

I did this for SumatraPDF (https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/blob/master/s...) and now I think it's a must for writing desktop software that runs on other people's machines.

A shockingly low number of people report crash reports.

I know because I show a message box telling them to submit a bug report for a crash. I get plenty of crashes but no bug reports.
