via https://webreplay.io/features/time-travel-debugging.html Very cool indeed. A debugger that speaks to my debug-by-print biases.

Very nice. Have you seen the probes and traces in https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/onward011-mcdirmid.pdf (Sean McDirmid)? Here's a video linked from that paper:

thanks for sharing.
I think probes are interesting and something we can add directly into the firefox debugger
i think we can go further though

webreplay is indeed very clever. It is however in its current form a hacked version of Firefox, so it is not available for normal end users to use. It is a great development tool to be sure, and will be popular i predict, but it doesn't tackle the issue of end user bugs, which are the ones that cause so much trouble.

That's a great point. I think there are three milestones that are all important and distinct 1. Can we help developers more productive at debugging 2. Can we help teams be more productive at diagnosing bugs 3. Can we surface issues in production
Recording in the wild is the end goal, but it'd be easy to get distracted going for that first
The exciting thing is that our architecture is becoming more modular, which will help us in the long run.

wow this feature rules
