I'm curious how they'll mock apps that have web requests. Like, on a website I work on we give testers a button to "create to users"--- it fills in the account signup form with the visa 4011 number and gives them an email/username/password based off of two randoms words from wordnik. (My favorite combo was: townwide-giardia.)
Would future users always get the same two words? Would they record the network request a couple of times?
If a web game had an endpoint to verify a solution, but the webrecorder only ever recorded the successful interaction, would it give success to any solution on the webrecord?
I suspect that a quick answer would be: "we won't mock apps with web requests", but that would painfully ignore how commonly 3rd-party apis are used.
//edit also you can play with webrecorder here: https://webrecorder.io None of my records are showing as Replays, but maybe that's because I'm an anonymous user.

Nice. I imagine this was intentional too? http://imgur.com/6oZ7cmK Do your ad-buys suffer a loss in price because your logo overlays it?
I had the same knee-jerk reaction as thewronbiennale but after thinking about it, I like it. It's like saying: "sure, we're gonna sell ads, but our blog still comes first." Clever.

Rhizome is working on more difficult sites.
