A lightweight, self-hosted alternative for side projects and early-stage startups. Most early-stage products have the same blind spot: users leave, but you don’t know where they got stuck. The obvious fix is session replay-until a simple debugging tool becomes another growing SaaS bill based on traffic, seats, and recorded sessions. I built TraceUX for the stage before enterprise analytics: side projects, small teams, and startups that need answers without another huge recurring cost. TraceUX records lightweight DOM events, stores them on your own server, and runs in just a few steps on a small VPS. No data warehouse. No multi-service stack. No per-session pricing. Just install the binary or Docker container, add a small snippet to your website, and start seeing what real users actually did. 👉 Try the live demo and learn more 👉 Read, clone, or contribute on GitHub
