Finally finished v1 of the Goals & Funnels feature for scryspell.com

It took a while because I was interview prepping a bunch. Interview loops are sooooo draining.

Next up, letting users click on a goal or funnel and easily watch the associated session recordings.

Wrote my first blog post:
www.scryspell.com/blog/2025-09...

It's about building my own session recording /analytics app! I figure if peeps don't use mine and don't want to pay for the big ones like FullStory, maybe I can inspire others to make their own affordable version.

Added the option to pass in a request and response body mask when recording network traffic during a session. Useful for avoiding the storing of sensitive information / pii.

The more programming languages I learn, the less important each one feels. My focus is on productivity, and I think the biggest contributor to that is the code you didn't have to write and test, because it already exists. Java you unsexy pal, your eco system is huge and reliable.

Added some documentation for the recording options for scryspell.com

I originally didn't have syntax highlighting for the code snippets, but wow what a difference it makes.

Working on the UI for my session recording tool.

Clicking on the event time scrubs the video to that time so you can see exactly what the user was seeing.

For the console and network tabs, it's easy to copy errors or request payloads to paste into a bug.

Anyone tried centering rrweb's player before? I almost gave up on my session recording app over it lol.

I whole point of agile was to address the heart of software development; Help the customer/product owner/boss/etc figure out what they really want.

I don't think this is unique to software btw. I'm sure any craftsperson who makes bespoke things has the same experience.

Would anyone buy a web analytics tool that was like, just the session recording part of PostHog? Uncluttered UI, comparable free tier and cheaper pricing.
