Spectate is a one-stop solution for observability to incident management. It is more than just a monitoring platform.
They use ScreenshotOne to render error pages and send them to their customers for troubleshooting.
Spectate and ScreenshotOne
Here is what Bjarn Bronsveld a founder shared with us about their integration with ScreenshotOne:
How did you discover ScreenshotOne?
I basically discovered ScreenshotOne on X. I don’t remember via who exactly, but I believe it might’ve been the For You algorithm showing all kinds of posts by fellow indie hackers.
Did you check any alternatives?
To be honest, not really. Just a quick Google Search and I was looking into building “screenshots” in-house. But that was a lot of work to get it work right (there’s a lot of edge cases in my case) and just opted for ScreenshotOne because of the pricing and great API.
How does it help you in your business
ScreenshotOne is used heavily by Spectate’s screenshot feature. When someone’s monitor is down, for example because of a 502 Bad Gateway, we make a screenshot so the user immediately can see what is going on. Maybe it’s the Cloudflare error page, maybe it’s their own. Now they know! This only works for these kind of errors. If someone’s monitor is down because of a time-out… then making a screenshot won’t work.
