Open-source session replay and product analytics platform

openreplay.com ↗

OpenReplay's analytics layer is mid-overhaul—breakdowns, user journeys, and clickmaps shipping in rapid patch cycles.

◆Current state
OpenReplay is shipping its analytics overhaul through a continuous delivery pipeline, pushing UI fixes for user-journey visualization, breakdown tables, and clickmap rendering in rapid succession. The September 2026 entries are patch-level fixes to features that landed recently, indicating a product in active post-launch stabilization rather than initial development.
◆Where it's heading
OpenReplay is expanding beyond its session replay origins into analytics: journey analytics, event-property breakdowns, and clickmaps are all receiving active development. The html-root-swap handler addresses a real edge case for SPA deployments, ensuring replay accuracy for a broader class of modern web applications. The pattern is a product widening its surface area while maintaining high release velocity.
◆Prediction
The analytics features currently being patched (breakdowns, user journeys) will stabilize into a named release (v1.28 or v1.29) within the next two weeks, at which point product marketing and documentation typically follow.

    main-backup-20260916090115: Html swap handler (#4886)

    The html-root-swap handler enables accurate session replay for SPAs that dynamically replace the root HTML element during navigation—a pattern used by some framework-level routing implementations. Without this, replays for that class of apps would produce broken or incomplete recordings.
