An open-source tool for tracing browser automation failures, with a local dashboard for inspecting steps and captured evidence.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-12 issue.
For
Playwright and Puppeteer automation developers
Worth noticing
Its illustrative checkout trace contrasts an expected `place-order` selector with a DOM example containing `confirm-order`.

Field notes

The homepage labels its checkout trace illustrative: the workflow expects `[data-testid="place-order"]`, while the example DOM contains `[data-testid="confirm-order"]`; the event list places the selector failure at 3.2 seconds. The setup instructions pin a Git commit, require Node 22.13+ or Node 24+ and pnpm, and use Chrome for the bundled example. The page says the 0.1.0 npm package is still being prepared, so the documented path is a source build.
