01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Proxino was a developer-tools startup (YC Summer 2011) founded by University of Virginia graduates Muzzammil Zaveri and Ethan Fast. It offered automated error reporting for client-side JavaScript: a proxy service that alerted developers when their site's JavaScript raised exceptions in users' browsers, instrumenting code (including CoffeeScript) to catch exceptions. It charged based on site traffic, with a free tier under 1,000 page views per month and paid tiers starting at $30/month.
