Show HN: Visual debugger for Rails system tests

Hey all, I've been working on this side project to get a Cypress.io-like experience, but for Ruby developers. It's plug-n-play with Capybara system tests, with the following features: - visualize assertions/commands as they happen - view all API requests, errors, and logs in the timeline - pause/continue on any step - rewind through history with a recorded video

This is brand new, so looking for people to start trying it out and leave feedback.
