// THE CHALLENGE

Capturing the Uncapturable

Traditional bug reports missed critical context—console logs, network requests, user actions. Developers spent hours reproducing issues that users couldn't explain.

PAIN POINTS

  • ×80% of bug reports lacked reproduction steps
  • ×Average 4 hours to reproduce a reported bug
  • ×Lost context between user and developer
  • ×No visibility into browser state at crash time
// THE SOLUTION

Intelligent Session Capture

We built a lightweight recording engine that captures everything: DOM state, console logs, network requests, and user interactions. All packaged into shareable, replayable bug reports.
