Hey HN,

For anyone who uses session replay tools to debug, monitor, or analyze user journeys, this feature might come in handy. OpenReplay — the self-hosted session replay tool that helps developers troubleshoot web apps faster — now supports tabbed browsing.

*Here's how:*

1. Capture and replay user sessions that span across multiple browser tabs, all within a single recording.

2. OpenReplay's tracker communicates across browser tabs, ensuring accurate tracking of each tab, even when duplicated or opened with `window.open` without `_blank`.

3. With "co-browsing", you can watch and support users in real-time and see how they navigate across multiple tabs of your app.

*Why it’s important?*

1. This feature is convenient for developers as it allows them to easily identify bugs by reviewing a complete session in one replay, rather than having to reference multiple recordings.

2. It provides a deeper understanding of the user journey and interactions across multiple tabs in your web app, helping in the comprehension of complex user behaviors and paths.

3. It provides accurate feedback on user tab actions such as opening, switching, and closing tabs, assisting in UX/UI improvements.

You could maybe get in a scenario where a company rather sneakily changes their license without proper announcement to make usage non-open and billable, but that's pretty rare and bad behavior and that underhandedness may bite them back if it goes to court (I am not a lawyer). That said, it can happen. As an example, see this discussion I opened where the project switched licenses and the maintainers thought it was enough to only really announce this within a 1 hour YouTube video (Rather than their blog or update notes).

OpenReplay would not be typically be considered open source. (Which I have raised with them and have since been blocked from their repos).

How does it compare to OpenReplay ?

> Before deciding on ClickHouse, we were planning to use OpenSearch

You should have tried Quickwit :)

Anyway, sounds like a great project, best of luck!

I would disagree with OpenReplay being open source, as I raised with them back in July (I've also since been blocked from their GitHub org for opening that discussion).

If you haven't tried Appwrite, make sure you give it a spin. It's a open source backend that packs authentication, databases, storage, serverless functions, and all kinds of utilities in a neat API. Appwrite can be self-hosted, or you can use Appwrite Cloud starting with a generous free plan.

What is Appwrite? Appwrite is an open-source backend server that abstracts the complexity of backend development, allowing developers to focus on building their applications. It provides a wide range of services including databases, storage, functions, and authentication, all designed to work seamlessly together. This integration simplifies the development process, reducing the need for extensive configuration and integration work.

Appwrite is an open source BaaS platform that provides services like serverless functions, serverless databases, user authentication, and messaging. Since its release, it has quickly become a popular choice for building websites and applications.

Appwrite for user management, databases, and serverless functions

Appwrite: Open-source backend server for web and mobile developers.

Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.

Joins - see Future of Queries - MariaDB supports json joins, so definitely possible!

Wow, looks nice! I almost felt like I could understand Bitcoins code xD

Could you do Appwrite? https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite

I'm not affiliated to them, just wanted to get started hacking it.
