1. Problem & Hypothesis

Product/QA teams struggle to reproduce web bugs because they lack context (DOM state, console logs, network payloads, env-details). Existing “report-a-bug” widgets solve this, but they often send raw data that can inadvertently contain PII (GDPR / HIPAA risk). ContextBug proposes the same contextual capture plus automatic PII redaction before data leaves the browser.

2. Evidence of Market Pain

• HackerNews thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43222866) – Show-HN about a similar widget gained >90 up-votes & dozens of comments asking for integrations and privacy controls.
• Additional HN Show-HN (#44225352 – “Most users won’t report bugs unless you make it stupidly simple”) also received solid traction; several comments mentioned concerns about leaking customer data.
• reddit r/webdev post (annotate.site) – >120 comments, multiple devs requesting security/PII-masking.
