01Who we are
Other End is made by DebugAI (debugai.io), the team behind the debugger for VS Code and AI coding agents. “We” on this page means DebugAI.
This page is about the website and its waitlist. The Other End tool itself reads your repository on your own machine; when it goes out to testers, it comes with its own page saying exactly what leaves your machine.
02What we collect
What you give the waitlist, what the link you followed says about where you came from, and one thing we check ourselves:
- Your email address, so we can send your access if you’re approved.
- Your answers, if you give them: where your code crosses a line, your backend, which AI you code with, your team’s size, whether you’d run it on your own code, a GitHub or X handle if you add one, and the last bug that crossed a file, in your own words. Every question can be skipped.
- Where you came from: the
refandutmtags in the link you followed, and the name of the site that linked you (its hostname only, never the full address). - Two spam checks: a hidden field that people don’t fill in, and how long the page was open before you joined. Signups that fail them are dropped.
- Your IP address, used to limit how many signups one network can send in a minute and in a day.
- Whether you already use DebugAI, which we check against DebugAI’s accounts when you join and keep with your entry as a yes or no.
- An email you send us, if you write to [email protected] for a place in the alpha: your address, your GitHub handle and the stack you name. A person reads it in our inbox, and it’s deleted on request like everything else here.
03What we never collect
- Your code, your findings, your file names or your repository names. The waitlist never asks for them, and the bug question asks for words.
- Cookies. This site doesn’t set any, for tracking or for anything else.
- Advertising trackers or a fingerprint of your browser.
We don’t sell your data, and we don’t share it with anyone for advertising.
04What we do with it
- Decide who we let into private testing first, and in what order.
- Email you your access if you’re approved, and a note before anything costs money.
- Decide which stacks get proofs next, from what people say they use.
- Count where joins come from, by link, so we know which posts reached developers.
- Know which of you already use DebugAI.
- If you’re approved and gave a GitHub handle, invite it to the private repository testers install from.
05What stays in your browser
Your browser keeps your place in the questions and your waitlist pass in its local storage. Until you finish and every answer has reached us, that includes your answers in full, your handle and a token that lets this browser add to your entry. After that it keeps only your email with most of it hidden, your pass code and what your pass prints. On the alpha page it also keeps which pet you picked. It all stays on your device. “Use another email” on the waitlist, or clearing this site’s data, removes it.
The pass image is drawn on your device, and leaves it only if you share or post it. Fetching /index.md or /llms.txt tells us nothing about your repository.
06Analytics
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies, keeps nothing in your browser and doesn’t fingerprint you, and we only ever see totals. Those totals cover the pages read (without the tags in the link), the site that linked you, your country, your browser and device type, and how fast the page loaded.
07Where it lives
These services handle it for us, each only for its part:
- DebugAI waitlist service
- Stores your email and answers. Runs on Railway.
- Cloudflare
- Hosts this site, answers our domains’ DNS, counts visits and forwards the mail sent to our addresses.
- Hostinger
- Registers our domains.
- Zoho
- Holds the inbox that mail is forwarded to.
- Resend
- Delivers the emails we send you.
- GitHub
- Hosts the private repository testers are invited to, by the handle they gave.
Every page and every request is served over HTTPS. A .dev address allows nothing else.
08How long we keep it
We keep your email, your answers, where you came from and whether you use DebugAI until you ask us to delete them. Unsubscribing stops our emails but leaves your entry in place, and your IP address is never stored with it.
09Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, delete it, or stop using it. Write to [email protected] from the address you joined with, and we’ll answer within 30 days. Every email we send has a way to stop getting them.
10Legal basis
For people in the EEA and the UK: we use your email and answers because you gave them to us when you joined (consent), and you can withdraw that by asking us to delete them. The spam checks, the limit on signups from one network, the count of where joins come from and our visit counts rest on our legitimate interest in a waitlist that is real people and in knowing which posts reach developers. Checking whether you already use DebugAI rests on our legitimate interest in knowing which of our own users want Other End.
11Children
Other End isn’t meant for anyone under 16. If we learn we hold a child’s email, we delete it.
12Changes
If this page changes in a way that matters, we’ll email everyone on the waitlist before it takes effect. Last updated October 25, 2026.
