I built a tool that helps fixing JavaScript production bugs much faster

Logging and tools like Sentry are a thing of the past. A while back on a night out in northern Norway, I had to start debugging a critical production bug that broke the payment flow of my SaaS product. I had limited time to fix the bug or I would have lost about ~1K profit. Super stressful. I had logging and Sentry in place, but neither helped me reproduce or find the root cause of the bug. Ever since, I started thinking; why can’t we just have a tool that you setup once, and that allows us to reproduce every function call and function that the user ran before the bug? This is how the idea…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Logging and tools like Sentry are a thing of the past. A while back on a night out in northern Norway, I had to start debugging a critical production bug that broke the payment flow of my SaaS product. I had limited time to fix the bug or I would have lost about ~1K profit. Super stressful. I had logging and Sentry in place, but neither helped me reproduce or find the root cause of the bug. Ever since, I started thinking; why can’t we just have a tool that you setup once, and that allows us to reproduce every function call and function that the user ran before the bug? This is how the idea for Flytrap was born. Flytrap is the fastest debugging tool for JavaScript projects. Just set it up in 5 minutes. No logging needed. When viewing bugs on Flytrap, it creates a visualisation of your code, and displays the bugs RIGHT IN YOUR CODE. Each function and function call in your code can be inspected for their input and output values, to gain a deep understanding of what went wrong. Then, to reproduce any bug, just copy the ID of your bug, place it in your Flytrap config file, and boom, the values of the end-user will be injected in your local development environment!

Ideas, experiences and feedback are much appreciated!

    Hey everyone, My friend and I built a simple bug fixing app that listens for alerts/issues from Sentry, contextualizes it against your codebase, and any other data sources you wish to connect (right now we support Notion, Google Docs, and Slack), and deploys an ai agent to write a PR for review in Github or Gitlab to solve the bug. Our current demo shows the end-to-end process for a trivial bug fix, but we have been testing it with open source python repos like http-pie, comparing how our agent solves a bug compared to a human engineer and it gets fairly close. We are working on adding…

    Give your coding agent production bug contextNov 2025 · sonarly.dev · ▲5

    Hi all, I've been working on this devtool for 1 month now for myself at first and I'll be curious to see if it's something that could work for you as well. So basically, it detects bugs in your website in production from real user sessions, an llm clusters them by severity and it provides the complete context of the issue that you can copy-paste into your coding agent to fix it in one go. Why did I create it? I've been shipping fast with tools like Cursor and Claude Code. The problem? When bugs happen in production, these tools have zero context about what actually went wrong. Sentry is…

    Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
