    Hi HN, I'm one of the founders of s2.dev. RePlaya (https://github.com/s2-streamstore/replaya) is a self-hosted browser session replay tool using rrweb (https://github.com/rrweb-io/rrweb). It occurred to me that a durable stream per session would be a much neater architectural foundation for much of what you'd want from such a tool. As a unique feature, it also made live tailing straightforward because the player can read from the same stream the recorder is appending to. The alternative architecture is likely an ingest firehose which is then indexed,…

    Hey HN, I'm Zach, founder of Portal. Portal lets you share a live sandbox browser session as a link. Try it here: https://www.makeportals.com/try Instead of asking someone to sign up, install software, or book a demo for user research, onboarding, or sales, you send a link and they interact with the real product in a sandboxed browser environment, then you get session replays. Each viewer gets a fresh remote browser instance that starts from a defined state (URL, cookies, extensions, local files, etc). Sessions are isolated and expire automatically. The sessions have…

    Revisit▲12

    Hello HN, I’m the creator of Revisit (https://revisit.pro), a session recording and analytics platform. We built this because existing tools (FullStory, Smartlook) force you to manually watch thousands of user sessions to find one bug. We wanted an AI that could watch the sessions for us and just tell us why users are churning. The "AI" Architecture - Store Events: We record DOM events, console logs, network requests, and assets using a lightweight script. - Replay & Render: On the backend, we spin up a headless browser (Puppeteer) to replay the session exactly as the user saw it.…
