What Hacker News says?

The first text you see says "Eliminate bad customer experiences. Get videos of real people speaking their thoughts as they use your website or mobile app." Beside that you have buttons "how it works", "Features", and a few more.

HN discussionYou can go one simpler if you need, you can use something like https://www.usertesting.com/ which will do the ad side of it for you. I used to do testing for them for some beer money.

Having someone in person can be extremely valuable for other reaso…

HN discussionIt'd be worth trying to sell to website testing/QA as a service companies, like https://www.usertesting.com/ . If they saw value in offering your better bug reports to their customers, it'd get you a lot of business fast.
