I see, pretty cool!

I noticed that when typing in the email box nothing happens in the recording. I assume that this is to hide the email address but it would be nice to have some sort of visual cue (may be asterisks, like passwords?), otherwise it looks broken.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the intent is to automatically prevent capture of personally identifiable information. The problem with asterisk though is that it still leaks the lengtg of the email address.

We are exploring other options with the right balance between minimizing information leak and usability.

Fair point about the length leak.

Good luck with this.
