Snap webcam photos whenever your app crashes

This is awesome. What about a collective dev facepalms gallery? It would be great to add a caption to the photo with an extract of the error message at the time. You could actually start a meme with that!

For added effect, add a couple lines to set volume to max and play a loud high-pitch sine wave 400ms before image is snapped. The purpose of this is two-fold: hilarious portraits (albeit, at the cost of one's eardrums) and skinnerian conditioning resulting in improved code checking habits. Always analyze code before running it.

Somewhat related: lolcommits [1], which takes a webcam shot every time you commit.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/mroth/lolcommits" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mroth&#x2F;lolcommits</a>

Brilliant idea. I&#x27;ll defiantly be trying this out. It might not change the world but it&#x27;s great to see fun things like this on HN from time to time. Nice work.

Cool idea =) Had to add -w 1 to the arguments of imagesnap, otherwise my camera took black images.

This is fun to do for when <i>you</i> are the only one using the app (ie, early testing). It looks like a privacy nightmare. You&#x27;ll probably lose millions in lawsuits.<p>Still, I think I&#x27;ll have fun with this :D
