Hey everyone,

I developed a Chrome extension that enables you to create bug reports that are easily shareable. For this type of data, users often want to understand the inner workings of the code to ensure their data is secure, so I decided to make it open source. You can get started for free. Also, feel free to contribute by submitting issue tickets or PRs for fixes or additions you'd like to see.

Whenever I speak to folks building in the tech space, whether they are indie hackers or venture-backed startup founders, I find the ones who make it say the same thing: "If I knew how hard it would be, I would never have done it." I feel that. You're supposed to enjoy the journey more than the end goal, but what if the path is horrible? For me, I seem to have stumbled into a stubborn mindset. It has been five years, and this is my third startup. The last two were venture-backed; this one hasn't raised money yet. I don't enjoy the failure. It creates a numb, heavy feeling in my forehead (hopefully not a sign of something else) that doesn't go away until I get a small win. Then the next day, it's back. The failures heavily outweigh the wins in terms of quantity. But here I am, back in front of the laptop, in front of my code editor, in front of LinkedIn. Writing code, looking for customers, talking to customers. You constantly hear that if you want money, then just get a job, but that is only the case for the elite. For someone with an unconventional background, this is the only way to create a life-changing outcome. So here I am, trying to love the journey, but my nose is bleeding.

The bar for launching a product has risen. Putting something very basic out there can sometimes leave a bad impression with potential users.

I'll use your web app and report any bugs I encounter, free of charge.

I've worked as a Software Engineer and Head of Engineering & Product for several startups and large companies. I also hold a PhD in Human Factors Engineering and Software Engineering, so I enjoy helping to enhance software.

Please leave your email below, along with your web app's URL and a brief description of your product. I'll collaborate with 10 teams to help identify any bugs.
