Definitely learned a lot and enjoy the process and thanks for your really important suggestions.

Quote from my introduction blog post:

===

Today we already have some commercial session replay products like Logrocket, Fullstory, etc.

If you are just looking for a ready-to-use tool and would like to pay for its service, I would recommend you to use the above products, because they have well-tested backend services that can store the data for you and perform some higher order features.

So I don't think rrweb is a competitor of these commercial products.

Actually, I would like to see rrweb grows into a base of many commercial products in the future, which means it handles most of the privacy and security issues, so the other developers can build many fancy projects base on it without spending time on the hard part again and again.

My current job has live, in house, QA testers.

One idea I've been toying around with is a tool that records their movements through our site when testing, aggregating them, and then being able to show hot and cold spots of out site that they hit on their full site run throughs.

I haven't really dug into your code yet, but it sounds like this might be a good base for that or am I way off base in thinking that?
