24 alternatives to Bugsink – Self-Hosted Error Tracking
I built Bugsink because I wanted error tracking I could run myself, without maintaining a complex stack. It runs with pip install or a single Docker container, stores events locally (SQLite, MySQL, or Postgres), and is easy to run and keep running. It’s API compatible with the Sentry SDKs, so you can keep your existing client setup. Bugsink focuses on error tracking only and is fast enough to process millions of events per day on modest hardware. The 1.5 release introduces sourcemaps support: https://www.bugsink.com/blog/bugsink-1.5-introducing-sourcem... Can't you just…

Telebugs▲391Hey hackers! In January 2025, I started building Telebugs. It's an installable error tracker that works with Sentry SDKs. I come from a Rails background and previously worked at an error tracking/APM company, so I figured: why not build my own? I wanted a simple, reliable tool I could own outright, without surprise bills for overages. Telebugs is built with Rails 8, Hotwire, TailwindCSS, and SQLite. Like 37signals’ ONCE products (my inspiration), it’s pay-once: prep your hardware, run one command, and you’ll be up and running in 10 minutes (5 minutes refers to the actual installation…

Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB. In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide https://jamsocket.live where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY). You may have seen my…

bugstack▲76Hey HN, bugstack started life as an internal tool for my other startup Fuelscout because my customers would encounter production bugs when I was away that would ruin their experience. When I went camping and came home to find out my internal tool had fixed an error and shipped it to production I knew it was bigger than Fuelscout, so my little tool became bugstack. bugstack monitors your production errors 24/7. When a user hits a bug, bugstack captures the error, pulls context from your repo, generates a minimal surgical code fix, runs it through CI, and delivers it as a pull request. If…

Most feedback tools are built like people actually want to report bugs. They don’t. Unless you make it dead-simple, or better yet - a little fun. After shipping a few SaaS products, I noticed a pattern: Bugs? Yes. Bug reports? No. Not because users didn’t care but because reporting bugs is usually a terrible experience. Most tools want users to: * Fill out a long form * Enter their email * Describe a bug they barely understand * Maybe sign in or create an account * Then maybe submit it Let’s be real: no one’s doing that. Especially not someone just trying to use your product. So I built…

FlowLens▲134Hi HN, We often run into this with coding agents like Claude Code: debugging turns into copy-pasting logs, writing long explanations, and sharing screenshots. FlowLens is an MCP server plus a Chrome extension that captures browser context (video, console, network, user actions, storage) and makes it available to MCP-compatible agents like Claude Code. You can try it here: https://magentic.ai/flowlens Any feedback—good, bad, or brutal—is welcome.

Spanly▲77Hi HN, I'm Tim, solo founder of Spanly (https://spanly.com). I spent the last year working on MCP gateways, and debugging them with nothing better than HTTP-level APM was painful. Spanly runs its own MCP server and monitors it with itself, so I've been the first user of everything below. Spanly is observability for MCP servers, the protocol that lets agents like Claude and Cursor call your product's tools. It's a sidecar proxy, so it works with any language and requires zero code changes. Live demo (no signup): https://app.spanly.com/share/demo Sidecar source…
