Nice looking landing page. Small bug, when I scroll down the page and then click "pricing" it doesn't take me to the right spot on the page until I click again. On Firefox 125.0.3

Can you use https://jam.dev/ to file the bug report? Joking aside, this looks really cool!

Ahahaha thank you!!

I think you should expand the bug report with classic fields like Preconditions, Expected and Actual Result...

Yes! And we wonder also whether LLMs will get good enough soon to reliably auto-fill those. That would be amazing.

*engineers I work with are telling me that some of you are going to argue that types don’t exist in real javascript and that web assembly isn’t assembly

Well it's bytecode, so if you consider java or dot net bytecode assembly then it's assembly, if not then not. If we want to be pedantic, assembly is usually defined as being close to the architecture machine code, which web assembly is not.

Yeah, I fell into that trap, but it's a holiday here.

Looks very useful for developers but I am not a fan of being on a website that has a keylogger installed onto it. I know this is not the first tool to do this, but the thought of every single thing I do getting stored by some third party tool is a bit scary.

"network tab" isn't it a security concern to record API calls? Also how future proof it is with Google changing Chrome addons permissions / API etc...?

Great concern!

We do two things to address that:

The first is nothing gets recorded and saved (or even sent to our backend) until the user actively chooses to log a bug. So it’s like actively choosing to save a HAR file when there’s a bug.

The second is we scrub all network requests on the client side for anything that resembles PII or sensitive data. We just don’t want it on our servers.

Is there anything else you think we should do?

Definitely building on the Chrome platform there’s always API risk of something changing but I hope Chrome and other browsers will keep it possible to provide a better debugging experience through extensions like ours for people who want it.
