Recording sessions
When you click the extension for the first time, the extension asks you to identify yourself with a google account. Once you identify with your google account, you are ready to record your sessions on any website. Open any website on your browser and record the session by clicking the extension. Upon clicking the extension, the chrome extension shows record the current tab button. Click this button to record the session of the current tab. When the session gets recorded, you will see a snack bar indicating the page being recorded
Recording can be stopped by clicking the red button on the snack bar and the recorded session opens automatically in another tab for you to view the recorded session.
In the recorded session, the left tab captures the breadcrumbs and user environment details. Devtools captures the console/network logs and stack traces. You can upload the sessions to zipy by clicking upload to zipy button. Clicking this button will ask you to sign up (new users) or sign in(existing users). Note that the recorded sessions will be accessible to you until the site and the tab in which you recorded are active. If you close the tab or if you visit some other website in that tab, the sessions are not accessible.
Uploading the sessions to Zipy
