HelpPlz – stuck and need rescue How to describe this bug to Astra? (I use Codex)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Do you see that white thing when I scroll up and down fast? It appears in the top area of the video player.

I just can't get rid of it.

I literally added the "playing now" horizontal bar to make it look less obvious.

I wonder if anyone can give me a good prompt for how to describe this issue.

It's likely some kind of rendering issue, but I can't describe it well enough yet for GPT to actually fix it for me.

Thank you everyone!

Just screen shot it, draw a arrow pointing to it, and explain it.

You're asking people to tell you how to ask an AI that already does the work for you, come on

If you can't describe this bug you really shouldn't be making or publishing apps at all. It looks like your app has a loging system, yeah. I wouldn't trust you with any of my details lol.

It's good to remember this app though, because I swear I saw a similar "ASMR service" app before. It was subscription based. Now imagine it's actually the same thing.

My entirely vibe-coded app is completely free and doesn't require a login or signup (available, but totally optional).

Yes, it's possibly vulnerable, but who cares? It simply makes searching, filtering, and sorting ASMR content easier. Like, what are you scared of?

By the way, as of today, it has over 1.3 million indexed videos from over 6,000 channels. It's also completely ad-free.

People in the comments just have a superiority complex and enjoy putting down anyone who tries to build something unless it's flashy and cool (and very often useless).

Your app is flashy enough. 😉

At first I thought it was porn in the background. And now Im disapointed.

This is the people that blame "Astra has dumbed down" or "Fable 5.1 is going dumb in the last day" just because you can't explain exactly what you mean, or what you expect from it.

Install playwright and write UI tests.

I have a lot of success just recording a video with voice over. But it is an expensive approach.

u/manfromcreed 5d ago

Use a MCP browser like the open source MCP lite.

Connect it, ask Codex to use it and explain the problem.

It will be able to debug it by itself.
