I've definitely felt this problem! Web app development can feel like 'playing detective' and chasing down lines more than problem solving. I'd download right now but will it help debug chrome extensions?

#212Nice work! Suggestions 1)Jam requires being on a website page to load, which might not always align with how users interact with browser extensions, often using them independently of a webpage 2) Wouild be nice to have an option to record two windows 3) Visibility of the extension popup in recordings when sharing a browser window - I can see extension popup open on the recording only when I share the entire screen Th…
1 - that’s so true, hadn’t considered that. Thank you!
2 - yes! Right now we just have window vs desktop but definitely there’s more to be done there
3 - +1
Great feedback thank you!

#213Looks great! Heads up, for the `Backend Tracing` screenshot there's a typo, it reads "enviroment" with the missing 'n' and on the AI debugger page on narrower screens the bubble for the "Learn more about JamGPT" text doesn't fit the text.

#214Really cool product. One of those ideas/things that seems to just be "obvious" after the fact. Especially in the realm of bug reports which are very tedious to submit. Kinda inspiring me to try and look around me for similar problems to solve.

#215Too cheap. It seems extremely inexpensive. Even though it's not a direct comparison, look at https://www.hotjar.com/pricing/ (and switch to the "pay by month" pricing view)
"Suspiciously cheap" is on-brand for an ex-Cloudflare team

#216I 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!

#217Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah sure but this is tool for internal use
Agree, it's a debugging tool for what users see, and users see your app on WebKit in Safari. So agree, the PdM should not be using Chrome. I suggested the Kagi Orion path elsewhere in this comment page too, since that would give the PdM extensions, while still seeing what users see.

#219Does anyone have any stats on how successful these small niche tool shops are from the business perspective? On the one hand $8/mo is pretty negligible. But on the other people will go to great lengths to not have “yet another subscription”. If we run some math a shop of 10 people in the US is at least $2.5M in just comp outlay per year, all in (meaning the entire comp package, not just net pay). At 96 bucks per year…
If they do staff up (eg if they have raised capital) they will eventually go up market or into adjacent markets.
That said, there are millions of software developers in the world. They can probably find 26k customers.

You don’t need 10 people to run this business in 2024. They could definitely do it with half that. They could probably do it with 2 people.
