I built this because I kept dealing with the same problem on dev teams. Someone finds a bug, writes "it doesn't work" in Slack, maybe attaches a screenshot. Then you spend 15 minutes asking what page they were on, what browser, any console errors, can they reproduce it. VibeCheck is a Chrome extension that lets the reporter hit record, show the bug, and stop. While they're recording, it silently captures console logs, network requests, and browser metadata. Everything gets packaged into a report on a shared dashboard. Stack is Next.js for the dashboard, Firebase for the backend, and Chrome DevTools APIs for capturing browser context during recording. Built it solo from Kazakhstan using Claude Code for a lot of the heavy lifting. Happy to answer questions about the technical approach or the Chrome Web Store publishing process, which was its own adventure. Feedback on the extension itself is very welcome too.
