SponsorsJam.devYou’ve probably heard of Jam.dev, it’s used by more than 60,000 people. It’s a free tool that saves developers a ton of frustration. It forces your teammates to make the perfect bug report. They can’t do it wrong because it automatically includes a video of the bug, console logs, network requests, everything you need to debug. It automatically lists out the steps to reproduce. It’s so easy to get your teammates to use. It’s just a Chrome extension. When they see a bug, they click a button and right away it creates a ticket. So it saves time for them.
