    Hey HN! We’re open-sourcing highlight.io (https://github.com/highlight/highlight), a session replay and error monitoring tool. Highlight.io gives you a high-precision video-like replay of what users are doing when an error or exception occurs in your web app, along with a full-fledged error monitoring experience (similar to bugsnag, rollbar, etc..). The main value prop of highlight.io is that we help you understand the full context surrounding an error and allow you to drill down to the code path that a user invoked (i.e user clicked button X, sent network request Y, and…

    Hey HN, I’m Jay, a co-founder at Highlight and a YC alum; excited to share our replay-based debugging tool! TLDR; if you're using a tool like Fullstory for debugging, or you have trouble understanding the actual impact of your errors (e.g. in sentry), you should give us a try! We built Highlight because we constantly found ourselves flooded with errors and support tickets with very little context on why these issues occurred. To make matters worse, there was never an easy (and less annoying way) of reproducing these errors, other than by asking users to send screenshots, videos, etc.…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
