I have tried SO hard to get rr to work for me, including buying a separate pc just to use it...but it just consistently fails so I've basically abandoned it. Something like this would absolutely be a godsend. Just getting something consistently working with Ubuntu is amazing. Does this approach make working in something like WSL viable?
I would love if this were upstreamed. Is there a github issue where you discuss the possibility of this with the rr devs? That might be something to add to your readme for everyone else who wants to follow along. Thanks!
