You can try out any of the replay demos on our website without signing up for an account. I suggest starting out with this one in case you haven't yet: https://app.replay.io/recording/aae188fb-57d2-46af-a23a-0adb...

However, we do need you to sign up for an account to record a replay.

In its current state, Replay's not meant to replace either of those products as it's not meant for 24/7 user session monitoring. Instead, it's something that we see teams reaching for in their debugging workflow.

The usual bug workflow is for one person to file an issue with steps to reproduce, which the engineer will use to reproduce the bug and try to debug the problem. Replay replaces that workflow by allowing a person to record a replay, and send that link (which is immediately debuggable) to the engineer.

Actually it might be even easier — if your specific error shows up in the console, there's a handy rewind button right beside it :)

Hey David! This should be fixed now

Replay employee here. Personally, I'm excited to see maintainers slowly phase out "Please include steps to reproduce" in issues, and replace it with "Can you make a replay"?

Partly because I want to see the product do well, but also selfishly as an engineer, because we've been dogfooding replay and it's made squashing bugs 10x easier. Having somebody attach a replay to an issue makes that issue immediately better than an expertly-written one, which as an engineer, I can start debugging in seconds with minimal back-and-forth.
