Developers often struggle to diagnose native Windows crashes that only occur in production or are hard to reproduce. Current tools either require live debugging or provide limited post-crash analysis.
A specialized post-mortem debugger would parse crash dumps, extract stack traces, and highlight suspicious code paths. It could integrate symbol servers and suggest common fixes based on crash patterns.
Software teams would pay to reduce downtime from crashes in deployed applications. Enterprise customers especially value tools that help maintain complex legacy systems.
The MVP could focus on basic crash dump analysis with stack walking and module/symbol resolution. Later versions could add pattern detection and integration with CI/CD pipelines.
The main risk is competing with established debuggers that might add post-mortem features, so deep Windows expertise and unique analysis would be key differentiators.
