A gift for Insanely Cool Tools readers: never write repro steps again!

Jam is a really easy way to capture bugs! It’s a browser extension, so you only have to click once to capture:

  • video of the bug

  • console logs

  • network requests

  • repro steps

  • session & user details

  • device & OS

  • backend logs

Jam packages it all up into a link you can share with engineers (or as a ticket in your issue tracker).

Never write repro steps again! Or hop on another debugging call!
