I was thinking a bit what would be needed to have a platform that allows user contributions as testers. In its minimal version it would not even do the mailing list part, it would just offer the following:
- A participation link for a particular study
- Text/form that tells about privacy and risks
- Text/form that tells what should be done/tried out
- A video platform that records a tab or window from a stream showing the interaction
- A possibility to review the video, cancel the use of the video or to actually upload it. A secret link could be returned that allows the participant to refer to the video, e.g. delete it still or supplement comments.
- Some sort feature that ensures that the videos are deleted after a while, except if the participant explicitly agreed to unlimited storage
I don’t know how hard to “record video to server” part is, but nothing seems to be particularly difficult (however: Seems might do a lot of work, as usual; pointers: screen capture API, Media Stream for browser APIs, pocketbase files for storage)
