Just checking my emails and seeing the monthly hosting invoices come through and I'm grateful to all the people supporting me on Patreon who help keep my apps free and available: the API Challenges, The Test Pages, The Pulper, and Chatterscan completely free.

The Observatron v0.9 now allows you to add simple text commentary as you test using a keyboard shortcut, this is logged as a json file with an optional screenshot e.g. "! menu should not look like that" would save it as a 'bug' note github.com/eviltester/obs… #SoftwareTesting It isn't as pretty and doesn't produce reports like this extension from @morvader chrome.google.com/webstore/detai… #ExploratoryTesting
