Show HN: One-line error alerts to Slack/Discord/Email

I’ve been frustrated with silent errors slipping past logs and dashboards, costing lost revenue and annoyed users. So I built something minimal: `update.issue()`.

It’s a single line of code you can drop into your catch blocks, and it instantly sends error alerts where you and your team already work — Slack, Discord, or Email. No dashboards. No setup. Just real-time awareness.

*Why this might be useful:* - Existing tools (Sentry, Rollbar, etc.) are powerful but heavy to set up. - If you just want a lightweight way to know immediately when things break, this might help. - Works in seconds, not hours of configuration.

*How it works:* - Add `update.issue()` in your catch block. - It captures the error and ships it to your chosen channel. - That’s it.

I’d love your feedback: - Is the “one line” approach useful or too minimal? - What integrations (Telegram? PagerDuty? GitHub Issues?) would you want next? - Any blockers you see for using this in production?

Thanks for checking it out!
