Hey HN, when I was a PM at Cloudflare 7 years ago, whenever we’d test our site on mobile, it was super annoying to make Jira tickets: I’d take a bunch of screenshots on my phone, email them to myself, then go one by one and make Jira tickets for them.Now 7 years later and this is actually still the way people do mobile QA. It takes ages to create 1 ticket let alone 10. How is there no tool for...
Today we added Gemini 2.0 to our web debugger (jam.dev) to let it analyze the browser session and DevTools and write up a bug report when there's an error.It even writes repro steps (and adds timestamps to link each repro step to the exact moment in the session recording playback). Plus, it's a lot more concise than most people reporting bugs, so engineers can understand immediately what is...
Link: jam.dev/ai Demo: https://x.com/jamdotdev/status/1887523689518014891People are terrible at writing bug reports.It’s insane that bug reporting is still done by hand. That’s how you end up with hours of back-and-forth for a 5 min fix. "What browser?" “Is it still happening?”But this is a problem you can fix with tools. Humans are inherently error-prone when it comes to reporting bugs, but...

Imagine a tool that plugs into devtools and grabs:...
Hey HN! 4 years ago, an ex-Cloudflare team and I started building Jam.dev –– trying to make bug reporting a lot less painful.It's crazy that in 2024, the state of the art way to debug a reported issue is to hop on a call. How is there no tooling?!So we built a tool we needed back at Cloudflare: fast forward to today and it's used by 150k people all over the world.But it still only solved when...
Hey HN, wanted to share a new collection of dev utilities that are ad-free, client-side (nothing leaves your device), with a command+k menu for fast search.github.com/jamdotdev/jam-dev-utilitiesWhy? The sites we use every day for data conversion (e.g. PNG to data URI) are cluttered with ads, one of those mildly annoying things engineers deal with while writing code.This came up at a recent team...
1 - that’s so true, hadn’t considered that. Thank you!
2 - yes! Right now we just have window vs desktop but definitely there’s more to be done there
3 - +1
Great feedback thank you!
Yeah +1, the reason why we built a blocklist vs an allow list is because Chrome settings already allows you to specify an allow list for extensions so we were just trying to round out what settings you couldn’t set already in the browser.
Also I love the idea of annotating a video, sharing that with the team! Thank you!
Our philosophy on pricing is to try and only make what real companies who can pay need, and offer what individuals and hobbyists and small startups need for for free, so that’s why SSO ended up a paid feature. But it’s great feedback for us - thank you!
We don’t have a way to customize that yet but we absolutely need to build that
And yes! Network logs get captured and added to the bug report automatically and we have copy as curl too so you can retry the request locally
