Hi, hackers, the author here.

Since I've seen some people are talking about the open source idea and comparing rrweb to some commercial products, I'd like to share a blog post about the vision of rrweb.

Also, you will know about how rrweb works in this post.

Thanks for open sourcing your work. I had already built something similar to this and other commercial products, but in jQuery.

Really interested to see how this compares.

I did see the IE11 issue. Are there any thoughts on what can be implemented for a fallback?

I know there is some MuationObserver(which rrweb used to observe DOM update) API's shim library, but not sure the impact on performance.

BTW, rrweb is also a project to explore the power of modern browser, so IE issues may not be considered in a high priority.

How does the replay work? Do you have to embed the player in the site being recorded or can you replay a recording on another page, like an analytics dashboard? Does it capture styles with the DOM snapshots?

A JSFiddle example would be handy. A record and replay example.

Amazing, I planned to work on something similar in 2019 for our SaaS, you just saved me few days / weeks of work :) Thanks

May I know what open source license is the project under?

MIT https://github.com/rrweb-io/rrweb/blob/master/package.json#L...

I'm not a lawyer, but three characters in package.json isn't sufficient. You need to include the license text - eg https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/LICENSE.
