I built a similar tool in 2016 called Bugcam that does exactly this. It was also a chrome extension with the ability to tie console logs and network traffic to screenrecordings. Jam looks really polished and far more usable than the weekend hack I put together :) Well done!

The explanation for why OP built Jam was precisely the motivation I had for building Bugcam. I had transitioned to a team in Europe as part of an acquisition that had non-technical PMs filing bug reports. Their reports were completely nondescript and incredibly frustrating to decipher and repro.

I ended up abandoning the project due to other opportunities that came up. One interesting thing I noticed was that a significant percentage of users downloaded Bugcam to record themselves playing games for YouTube. Perhaps there was another opportunity there, but I decided not to pursue it.

Congrats on the product and best of luck Jam team!

Thank you for the kind words, Matt! If you ever want to go back to that world, shoot me an email at i@jam.dev. We are always hiring!


Thank you Matt! That’s so cool. Like minds :)


Is there a wireless mechanical _split_ keyboard with tilt and wrist support?

I currently have a Kinesis Freestyle Pro, which is fine for me, but they do not support a wireless version. This has helped with my wrist issues, but it's not practical for traveling.


I really wish Microsoft would make a version of the ergonomic sculpt with low profile mechanical switches.


Here’s another project that has a win93 feel: https://curve.fi

They open sourced the UI here: https://github.com/curvefi/curve-ui


We recently started building a video player for go-flutter-desktop using FFmpeg. It's been immensely frustrating as the audio and video is slightly out of sync and requires a bit of tuning.

If anyone has experience with FFmpeg, I'd greatly appreciate if you could take a look! https://github.com/telefuel/video_player_testbed/issues/1


Or use coinjoin


Also possible, but more difficult and significantly slower.


Search for the title in google and the resulting wsj article won’t have the paywall.


The Google search method did not work for me, but http://archive.is/BOsMr did.


As an aside, they received an NSF grant for their threading UX.

I came across their NSF research proposal abstract [1] and it is indeed quite interesting. I'm curious about their federation model and how exactly they're enabling privacy.

$5 according to the YouTube documentary posted in your sibling comment.


Wow, that is extremely cheap!


I haven’t had time to watch the documentary yet, but my first thought about a $5 price tag is that it can’t possibly be accounting for inflation.

$5 in 1977 is about $21.15 give or take a few cents according to most of the website i checked the numbers on.

So while it might be $5, that was definitely not as cheap as it might otherwise seem.

Regardless of the inflation adjustments, ~$20 is surprisingly inexpensive for a commuter helicopter ride, I wonder if the economies of scale really do bring it down or if they were still eating their losses trying to grow business at that price.


Thanks for doing the math. $20 is still so cheap as to warrent a "Wow, that is incredibly cheap" IMHO.

Taxi flat rate from Manhatten to JFK is over $50. How the price for a helicopter ride could be on the same order of magnitude as a taxi is beyond me.


The flat rate has only been in effect for several years. I would assume it would be a lot more expensive to take a taxi from midtown directly to JFK before the flat rate.


> So while it might be $5, that was definitely not as cheap as it might otherwise seem.

An uber to JFK from Manhatten is ~$100 - that's still dirt cheap!


If you use Telegram a lot, you should check out Telefuel.com. We're building Telefuel for power users and teams, and recently rolled out a feature to filter for unread messages. Might be useful for you!
