You might be interested in https://kloak.app I believe. It's a privacy-first alternative. It's still in early alpha days, but have most of the things set up. Oh, and we’ve got voice channels with screen sharing in beta too.

We are also currently working on a privacy-focused alternative called Kloak, which is in its very early alpha stage. We would greatly appreciate your feedback on areas for improvement and any expectations you may have for the platform.

Here is a quick promo video as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekOxAg7leXM

We’re on the same page. Electron is out of the question. We’re currently exploring Tauri to keep the app lightweight and avoid the resource overhead.
lakshikag··on Show HN: I built berrylog.app after getting burned by every analytics tool
Totally fair callout, let me clarify. Berrylog does have a free plan with a 5,000 event cap. The difference (and the reason I criticized other tools) is that they don’t just cap usage. They also delete your data, restrict retention, and then lock you into paying a subscription forever.

With Berrylog, all your events (even on the free tier) go straight into your own database. Nothing ever gets wiped. You always own 100% of your history. The free tier is just a way to let people test things out and cover some infra costs. Once you upgrade, it’s a one-time fee for unlimited projects/events forever.

The submit button is not clickable until there is a text now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Can you check it now? I've done some changes.

Whitelist options are coming up :) You will be able to customize the tooltip (or remove it), change the Bugdrop branding to your own and more.

I'm aware of the issue in mobile devices too, will push an update later tonight to fix it.

lakshikag··on Show HN: Most users won't report bugs unless you make it stupidly easy
About 90% of day-to-day users won’t bother recording a video—plus, most people aren’t even aware of the browser’s screen sharing feature and may feel uneasy about what it’s doing. So in my opinion, a simple note is the best way to go.

I'm thinking of adding an option for users to leave their email for follow-up after submitting a report. That feature should be available in the next couple of days.

Thank you, Nailer. I'll definitely be doing some tweaking around that part.
lakshikag··on Show HN: Most users won't report bugs unless you make it stupidly easy
Thank you. It's a simple setup—just copy and paste the JS snippet into your website. I'm also considering creating some video tutorials soon to make it even easier.

Thank you, Charles. Yes, this is already on my to-do list and should be available in the next couple of days.

1) The site owner can fully customize the widget, including adjusting the size of the bug icon.

2) I'm considering updating the popup text to something more approachable, like "Something’s not working?" or "Spot a problem?"

3) Currently, it doesn't send class names—but that's a great suggestion. Thank you!

Hey graypegg, you're right about this. I'm thinking about changing the wording of the popup to something like “Something’s not working” or “Spot a problem?”
lakshikag··on Show HN: Most users won't report bugs unless you make it stupidly easy
That’s great! Let me know how the meeting goes :)
lakshikag··on Show HN: Most users won't report bugs unless you make it stupidly easy
Thank you! I already have a quick demo video on the landing page, let me know if it's not showing on your end. I'll also be making some changes to the bug icon to help draw more user attention to it.
lakshikag··on Show HN: Most users won't report bugs unless you make it stupidly easy
Currently, widget customization is somewhat limited. You can only position it on the left or right side, and you're able to change the bug's color (options include red, green, yellow, and a few others) as well as its size. However, I do plan to add more customization options in the future.

I'm aware of this. Will look into asap

Could you please see if it's still the same?

You don't need an email account to create an account, so you can simply wind up an account

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try to implement this in a future update.

You can now change the channel name and URL from customize channel settings :)

You’ll be able to change the channel name and URL soon! Channel ownership needs more thought, but I’ve got it on my list including some mod tools for channels.

(2/17) Quick update! I've added colors for nested comments to improve readability and started working on a voting system. It's still a work in progress, but it's live!

I'm not sure what you mean, but I can see all the replies nested under that specific comment.
