Browser debugging tool an ex-Cloudflare team has been building for 4yrs
Hey HN, I wanted to show you a product a small team and I have been working on for 4 years. It’s called Jam (jam.dev) and it prevents product managers (like I used to be) from being able to create completely vague and un-reproducible bug tickets (like I used to create).

It’s actually really hard as a non-engineer to file useful bug tickets for engineers. Like, sometimes I thought I included a screenshot, but the important information the engineer needed was what was actually right outside the boundary of the screenshot I took.
