Description
TraceUX is a lightweight, open-source alternative to hosted session replay tools. It runs on your own server as a single Go binary with SQLite, records DOM event streams instead of video, and lets you understand real user behavior. The launch includes a live demo that records and shares your visit to the landing page. Also includes: - Full multi-page session replay - Privacy-first input masking and blocking - Docker and single-binary deployment

Could you build this?
Partial While single-binary Go apps with SQLite are vibe-codeable, writing an accurate, performant DOM mutation tracking library (similar to rrweb) and handling high-throughput event ingestion without crashing requires specialized frontend-internal knowledge.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves an in-browser script tracking MutationObserver events, input changes, and mouse coordinates, bundled and streamed to a Go HTTP backend writing to SQLite or DuckDB. The critical challenge is building a robust DOM serializer/replayer that masks sensitive data, handles Shadow DOM, and efficiently compresses high-frequency delta snapshots without freezing the target website.
