It seems like Google has perfected it (Send Feedback), but isn't sharing. :(

It seems like Google has perfected it (Send Feedback), but isn't sharing. :(
- trickjarrett 15y agoThis was my initial thought as well, how can this technology be used to implement Google's Send Feedback functionality. Kevin Rose was right, if someone can build that as a service, they would do quite well.
- websymphony 15y agoSaw this site few days ago on HN: http://bugmuncher.com/ http://bugmuncher.com/ Seems to be doing same sort of thing, except that the processing is being done on server side rather on client.
- ebzlo 15y agoThe problem with server side is you're limited to things that are not behind a login.
- coconutrandom 15y agoFor urls true. But not if you post the html source from a bookmarklet or a script on the page.
- MattBearman 15y agoBugMuncher founder/developer here - BugMuncher takes the entire DOM tree from the client and recreates it for the screenshot, so as long as any external CSS/images aren't behind authentication, it works fine on authenticated pages. In fact, most of our users use BugMuncher specifically on auth protected areas.

- csytan 15y agoSeems like it's not. In the same thread, a googler mentions it's done completely client side. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4912092/using-html5-canvas-javascript-to-take-screenshots/6654253#6654253 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4912092/using-html5-canva...
- ebzlo 15y agoIf you check Inspect Element when hitting Send Feedback, I believe you can see some of their magic (includes HTML5's canvas element and flashcanvas.swf) which leads me to believe it's not done server side. Also modifying the DOM preserves when hitting Send Feedback.
