Any idea what the pricing is going to be and if there's going to be a free level? Was there any noticeable user experience slowdown from all that tracking? Very cool product (and nice screencast). Any idea what the pricing is going to be and if there’s going to be a free level? Was there any noticeable user experience slowdown from all that tracking?

We could make up walls of lcds and just watch people browse :)</p><p>There was no slowdown for me - the JS file is about 10kb and gets cached. As for price, I have asked Joshua (founder) and hopefully he will reply shortly.</p> Thanks for the kind words Justin – it is a pretty cool product.

From your screenshots, sessions appear based on IP address so I guess an option to see 'tapes' based on the user's ID on the site will make it even better. Looks like a great tool.

I'd have two concerns-- 1) How does it deal with pages that are ajaxy/heavy on JavaScript? 2) It doesn't seem to track entire user sessions across the site... Most usability tests are multi-screen. I'm sure they can pull this off at some point or another. This is an amazing alternative (though not a perfect replacement) to standard usability tests, which are time consuming and expensive…

I’d have two concerns–

1) How does it deal with pages that are ajaxy/heavy on JavaScript?
2) It doesn’t seem to track entire user sessions across the site… Most usability tests are multi-screen. I’m sure they can pull this off at some point or another.

I agree about how far these testing tools have come. And I agree that its not a 1-1 replacement, it can provide a lot of the crude initial testing before the fine tuning process begins.

I never knew such a thing was possible (tracking the mouse) but it is and the tape idea is extremely innovative! This site should be a hit since it's something unique...One thing that could be improved is a progress bar for the tapes (so you could skip ahead instead of sitting through the whole tape.

Thanks for the beta invite. Tried it a bit this morning and I’m excited about the service.

  • Is there any way to block certain IPs from getting tracked? (So I don’t track myself)
  • When watching the tape, the playback has some trouble rendering our site sometimes (a blank page once and right-shifted another time). It looks like it’s loading the page in an iframe? Google maps chokes here since it relies on a certain IP/domain (not a huge deal though)
  • I did notice some page load lag so I took the script out after collecting a decent set of sessions.

Keep up the good work. I can see this being very useful.
