Show HN: We’re open-sourcing our session replay tool

1. highlight

   1 35 8,029 9.8 TypeScript

   highlight.io: The open source, full-stack monitoring platform. Error monitoring, session replay, logging, distributed tracing, and more.

   

   I wanted to say thank you for picking a business friendly license!

   Watch out for the (presumably old) GitHub organization in .gitmodules: https://github.com/highlight/highlight/blob/d818969acddd7c74...

   OT1H, GH does a 301 to the new name, but OTOH unknown how long that lasts and is one more thing to go off the rails for fresh clones. It has been my experience that using the https URL makes clones easier for users which may not have set up ssh auth, but it depends on the target audience and whether you have some internal tooling that depends on that submodule coming down over ssh

   I didn't think postHog was a good comparison either,

   I knew of rrweb https://www.rrweb.io/

   Great to see more open source contendants in the space

5. nextjs-13-sample

   4 1 2 10.0 TypeScript

   Discontinued An example NextJS 13 app w/ highlight.io installed!

   

   Following up regarding the other points I missed. Compared to OpenReplay, we have similar functionality in our session replay, but we've focused a lot of effort on making a cohesive error monitoring (backend and frontend) experience. We closely link sessions with errors (stacktraces and associated metadata) and vice versa to make it easy to get to the root cause of a bug.

   To demo your own sessions on highlight, you can easily spin up our next.js example app that has highlight installed: https://github.com/highlight/nextjs-13-sample. All you need to do is make an account on highlight.io and copy your project ID over into the sample app!

6. sentry-javascript

   5 14 8,140 10.0 TypeScript

   Official Sentry SDKs for JavaScript

   

   In addition to the network call data we already attached, that does go through data PII scrubbing on the edges as you mentioned, we're discussing capturing request/response body. We even talked about it today: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/7103

   Avoiding any PII from getting into the system is always top of mind. And we're considering this as an opt-in regardless of scrubbing on the edge ingestion service.
