  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • rrweb

    record and replay the web

  • > Every once in a while a piece of technology comes around that doesn't quite have an equivalent.

    I dunno, https://www.rrweb.io/ comes close (closer?) and it's open source.

  • node

    Integration of the node.js runtime with the record/replay driver (by replayio)

  • Replay deterministically replays the recording, so if the state of the application when you recorded it caused a network call, then when replaying it we will also "make" a network call _but_, instead of actually going out to the network we will instead return the exact data that was returned when you recorded it.

    You can learn more about how Replay works here https://medium.com/replay-io/how-replay-works-5c9c29580c58

    Can you expand more on what you mean by a race condition in network calls? If it's a series of network calls that the browser could make in any order than we will make them in the order that they occurred when you recorded it. If it's a race condition that occurs in your backend, then the Replay browser won't really help there (though it will show you the responses you got from your backend when you recorded it).

    For help with that, you might want to use Replay on the backend. Right now we have Node support (https://github.com/RecordReplay/node), but other runtimes are on the roadmap.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • devtools

    Replay.io DevTools (by replayio)

  • Great diagnostics! We'll have to adjust our compilation settings to target a broader browser set.

    I've filed an issue regarding the right click issue. That's a fair comment: https://github.com/RecordReplay/devtools/issues/3615

  • rr

    Record and Replay Framework

  • dark

    Darklang main repo, including language, backend, and infra

  • re-frame-10x

    A debugging dashboard for re-frame. X-ray vision as tooling.

  • Surely not as fully featured, but the general idea has been possible for ClojureScript Re-frame with: https://github.com/day8/re-frame-10x

  • breakword

    Mixing breakpoints with print debugging

  • For Python, but only if execution is deterministic, I made a small library that tries to address that issue: https://github.com/breuleux/breakword (it prints data alongside a deterministic list of words and you can set a breakpoint on a word of interest in a second run).

    It's really a poor man's replay, though. That tool looks really slick, I'll definitely give the Python version a go if/when it comes!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
