 todo: exception handling around reports sucks
+todo: No message in popup should be more than can be viewed at once on a phone (600 characters maximum)
+todo: Exceptions, some are still showing [object,object]!
+todo: Exceptions don't show "Name: Error," ever
+todo: NON DEV MODE
+	No stack trace in error messages!
+	But do keep stack trace in internal LOG for diagnosis
 
 todo: a script error when just running a report from the report selector acts weird
 	Test with dev mode off to confirm it won't show it in the UI
