HN comment orderHi, hackers, the author here. Since I've seen some people are talking about the open source idea and comparing rrweb to some commercial products, I'd like to share a blog post about the vision of rrweb. http://www.myriptide.com/rrweb-introduction/ Also, you will know about how rrweb works in this post.
Anyone used replay.io and can compare both? Any limitations? This one is open source but there was no release in 2 years. edit: actually they release frequently it's just latest builds are still pre-release.
It's very useful to me. Cool!
I've talked to a bunch of startups that are using rrweb behind the scenes - onboarding, product feedback, etc all need some variant of this functionality.
