About the Project
WhatzBug is a production-grade mobile observability platform built specifically for React Native engineering teams. It provides real-time crash reporting with full stack traces, automatic XHR/fetch network interception, screen-by-screen session replay using privacy-masked screenshots, app launch and FPS performance metrics, and a real-time desktop debugger accessible via WebSocket with 13+ inspection panels. The platform prioritizes developer privacy and security through on-device PII redaction before any data is transmitted.
The Challenge
React Native mobile teams lack production-grade observability tools that combine crash reporting, network inspection, session replay, and real-time debugging without compromising user privacy or requiring cloud dependency for local debugging workflows.
The Solution
WhatzBug integrates directly into the React Native app as an SDK, capturing device-level events locally with PII redaction, then exposing them through a WebSocket-connected desktop debugger and a cloud dashboard for async review — giving engineers full visibility without compromising user data.
Our Role & Contribution
WhatzBug represents direct product engineering work — product design, SDK architecture, real-time debugging infrastructure, and developer experience design for mobile engineering teams.
Outcomes
A production-ready React Native observability platform currently in early access, offering engineering teams full-stack mobile visibility without cloud lock-in.
