Great work yz-yu. Hope you've learned a lot- I've personally found the session replay space to be incredibly rewarding. However, as a session replay industry competitor and a former security researcher for most industry players, I caution anyone thinking of using a side-project like this on production applications to proceed slowly with care. Security and Privacy are extremely hard to get right here. The tricky thing…

Definitely learned a lot and enjoy the process and thanks for your really important suggestions. Quote from my introduction blog post: === Today we already have some commercial session replay products like Logrocket, Fullstory, etc. If you are just looking for a ready-to-use tool and would like to pay for its service, I would recommend you to use the above products, because they have well-tested backend services that…

My current job has live, in house, QA testers.

One idea I've been toying around with is a tool that records their movements through our site when testing, aggregating them, and then being able to show hot and cold spots of out site that they hit on their full site run throughs.

I haven't really dug into your code yet, but it sounds like this might be a good base for that or am I way off base in thinking that?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I would love to read more about these kind of security issues, maybe you have a blog about this? Or some great resources maybe? I know of the obvious ones like OWASP; but that only scratches the surface.

I got one about bypassing GitHub's authentication using Unicode on the company blog: https://blog.getwisdom.io/hacking-github/ I've wanted to write a deep dive on JS defense for a while now. Lots of cool stuff learned I'd love to share- maybe in the next few weeks.

Hm, that's odd - ublock blocks access to the site :-/
