CodeCanary

CodeCanary finds and fixes bugs, confusing UX, and conversion rate + activation drop off (YC S22)

[David J Phillips @davj]

99% of session replays are your app working exactly as expected (hopefully)

The other 1% is where the friction hides

The bugs.
The failed onboarding flows.
The conversion leaks.

No team has time to watch them all...

That's the problem Michael and his co-founder kept hitting at their last company

They had analytics. They had session replays. They had ideas to improve conversion.

The small fixes always lost to bigger priorities...

So they pivoted and built CodeCanary: An AI product engineer that connects to GitHub, PostHog, and Slack

It watches your session replays, finds the UX friction, and opens pull requests with the fix

Always on. Always shipping.

Not dashboards
Not alerts
Actual fixes

How can OpenAI, a trillion dollar company (that bought a top product analytics company), have a bug like this for weeks?

Maybe if they're not watching session replays no one is

Recursive self-improvement isn’t just for AGI anymore.

Claude Opus in a daily loop just 10x’d activation rates for a real SaaS startup — with almost zero human work.

Apps can now improve themselves. Here’s how the loop actually works 🧵

[Michael Egan @eganmichael]

Linear's zero-bug policy will determine which vibe coded startups succeed or fail

At Linear, all bugs must be fixed in 7 days, and important ones in 2, which is why it's a great product and business!

No one cares that Claude Code could easily re-build 80% of it, people just want their tools to work when they need them and Linear delivers that for them

There's a lot of talk right now about rebuilding x company's product with AI, but that misses the point as to why someone would buy from that company

If you build something people want but it's full of bugs, you're just leaving room for someone to come along, build the same product, but address the bugs and have a materially better product

In a world of issue trackers, there's only one Linear, and it's the one with the fewest bugs

If you want fewer bugs, CodeCanary watches your session replays, identifies bugs, and creates a PR with the fix when it finds one
