Show HN: A free and open source session recording Chrome extension

Hey HN,This is a Chrome extension that records lots of details in a usage session. Stuff like network calls, console logs, screenshots and also optionally screenshots and user narrationTools like this exist, but every one I tried is uploading the session details somewhere in their cloud and try to monetize this.So I built the version I wanted: free, open source, and local. There is no account, no backend, no telemetry. Sessions live in IndexedDB in your browser and exported as a zip.What it records:* Clicks, typing, page changes, network requests and responses, console errors screenshots, video with sound* Your voice, transcribed and placed next to what you were doing at the time* Annotations: Arrows and boxes you draw on the page s screenshotNote: Passwords, auth headers, and tokens are masked at capture timeAll events are lined up in a timeline with timestampsAt export you pick a detail level with a live token estimate, so a long session still fits your model s context window.Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/session-recorder/db...Repo: https://github.com/mohsen1/session-recorder-chrome-extension
