Show HN: RecapJS – Record and Replay Browser Sessions Without Leaking User Data

Love the idea. Super useful for iterating over UX.

awesome idea. I work at a financial institution, and the idea of a browser recording tool, would be ruled out due to regulations and concerns regarding the sharing of user data. However if the data was always encrypted, and redacted, this might be a more workable solution. This kind of tool is invaluable for UX research and bug reporting.

I'm not sure that just blurring the text input is sufficient for obfuscation, There are known methods for reversing blur like: https://lifehacker.com/how-to-uncover-blurred-information-in.... http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~ihradis/CNN-Deblur/

Another feature I would suggest is to monkey patch the browser `console` functions (e.g. log, warn, error, etc...) This way in addition to capture all the DOM related events, someone can also look and see what messages are appearing in the console. This is useful for debugging.

I keep getting this error: "Dang! There was an unexpected error, please try again. If the error persists please come back in a bit or get in touch with us!"

I'd like to get in touch with you. Do you have a handle or email I can DM?
