I can't see anything on jam.dev/careers about where in the world you are located, or if you are open to remote applicants.
Hi! I work at Jam. We are 100% remote.
So anywhere that isn't on the US sanctions list?

#202From https://jam.dev/docs : Jam is a browser extension that allows you to create the perfect bug report in just one click. You will now be able to capture an instant replay of the bug happening on your web app and include all the developer logs required to cut your bug reporting time by 20x. (to me that was a more useful summary)
Thanks this wasnt clear after visiting their homepage

#203I love the look of this tool and will be recommending our QA team take a look. However, I would like to encourage you to make SSO free and available to everyone. Better security should be a focus for everyone, not just those on an "Enterprise" plan. Tailscale recently had a great blog post about their SSO tax journey[0]. Please don't get added to the SSO Wall Of Shame[1]. [0] https://tailscale.com/blog/sso-tax-cut [1…
Great feedback, thank you!
Our philosophy on pricing is to try and only make what real companies who can pay need, and offer what individuals and hobbyists and small startups need for for free, so that’s why SSO ended up a paid feature. But it’s great feedback for us - thank you!

#204Pretty soon after the initial launch of Jam.dev I tried as an alternative to Bugherd. At the time it was only screenshots and annotations and we were missing the browser information provided by the currently used tool. It seems it's time to try it again, after many evolutions. As we mostly did frontend development and wanted feedback from clients, the killer feature for me was the selection and capture of a specific…
Thanks for trying us out back then! It’s been quite a journey since the initial launch - we ended up building & rebuilding 7 times since then. What’s now live at Jam is our 8th attempt at solving the slow back & forths about bugs, I hope you like where the product has iterated to!

#205I've been playing with this for a few hours and had similar questions about scrubbing custom tokens or headers from the submitted data. One concern I have about the instant-replay feature is the potential performance implications when monitoring multiple tabs or windows. I'm not particularly fond of the idea of all sites in this way and prefer better controls there. I saw the block list inside the extension, but I th…
That’s great feedback! The way we currently solve that is by setting a memory limit for Instant Replay and then automatically disabling that feature when the limit gets tripped.
Yeah +1, the reason why we built a blocklist vs an allow list is because Chrome settings already allows you to specify an allow list for extensions so we were just trying to round out what settings you couldn’t set already in the browser.
Also I love the idea of annotating a video, sharing that with the team! Thank you!

#206Okay, so, stupid question; could you replace this with this screen recorder[1] and browsers' built-in web dev tools[2] ? The screen recorder lets you record and download a session (nothing is uploaded), and the dev tools lets you capture any errors the browser sees, the network connections & errors, the source, browser data/steps, yadda yadda. The built-in web dev tools have a Recorder function to record what the bro…
When we were PMs at Cloudflare, we were always exporting browser sessions with HAR. Definitely there are ways to do anything, but we wanted to make it as simple as possible both for the PM and for the dev.

#207We have been using Jam on our team for a long time (~2 years) and it is awesome! Everyone on our team is posting jam videos to report bugs, explain and walkthrough issues, add a demo on every PR with a demo of what frontend changes are included in the ticket so that QA can get a jump start on understanding the scope of what to test. I normally just record the jam and get a link and paste it wherever, but I love the a…
You just made my day :) that is so amazing to hear, thank you so much. Feel free to reach out anytime for feature requests, suggestions, product gripes, anything! I’m dani@jam.dev

#208This is an useful tool. I wish there was something similar for desktop applications. The nice thing about implementing this for the web is that the API you have to record data from (DOM events) is the same no matter what UI toolkit you use on top of it. But on desktop, the ecosystem is more fragmented and would require more ports and quirks to implement a widely compatible bug recorder. I'm not a fan of webdev, but t…
Totally, it’s going to be a bit of a beast to tackle but really excited to do so. Would love any thoughts on how we should think about doing this for desktop! I’m dani@jam.dev if that’s easiest.
Re: Show HN: A web debugger an ex-Cloudflare team has been working on for 4 years
#209Tools like OpenReplay and Fullstory already are capable of capturing a scary amount of information. I'm curious how far you could go with this idea without the need to be an extension. What would really be missing?
It’s an interesting question!

#210Any chance you can create a cypress test or selenium test out of your repro steps? It looks like you are pretty close in the text description. Not that I want 1000's of UI tests but a UI test is a bug repro that never needed to happen.
Omg I love that. Yes!
