## What it is
Ignition is a beautiful, customizable error page for Laravel applications (Laravel 5.5 through 8), serving as the default error page for Laravel 6. It can also share errors publicly or track them via the Flare error tracking service when configured with an API key.

## Use cases
- display beautiful error pages in a Laravel app
- debug exceptions with stack traces and actionable insights during development
- share errors publicly with teammates for troubleshooting
- track production errors and get notified via Flare
- view stack trace arguments and solution suggestions for exceptions

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Laravel 5.5-7 application that still uses facade/ignition
- you want a rich, developer-friendly error page for local PHP/Laravel debugging

## When to avoid
- you are on Laravel 8 or above - use spatie/laravel-ignition instead
- you are starting a new project - this package only receives security fixes
- you need full error tracking - consider the Flare service or modern alternatives like Sentry
