Show HN: We’re open-sourcing our session replay tool

Having used the Posthog product (which is really good btw!), its an "analytics" tool, so their replay product is very good at mapping user funnels to sessions.

On the OpenReplay end, its seems we have feature parity for session replay, but they don't have support for error monitoring and therefore linking errors to corresponding sessions (as far as I can see).

Nonetheless, happy to see other oss tools in this space!

I didn't think postHog was a good comparison either,

I knew of rrweb https://www.rrweb.io/

Great to see more open source contendants in the space

Thanks. Yeah, we actually use rrweb under the hood and have met with a few of the core maintainers. We're proudly powered by that project.

Posthog also seems to be using rrweb.

PostHog started as a product analytics tool but we now have a fully fledged session recordings product including handling console logging and network requests for debugging. Mobile support is coming shortly too

Very cool. Didn’t know y’all were investing in that. Always been a fan of posthog.

Congrats on the open-source move! It's always good to see more players in the OSS space. We do track JS errors at OpenReplay and of course link them to recordings. Errors come with stacktraces, are also fully searchable and can be used as cards to build custom dashboards. In terms of backend errors, we took a different approach at OpenReplay. We pull them from third-party systems (i.e. Sentry, Elastic, CloudWatch, Datadog, etc.) and sync them with the corresponding replays.
