#122Earlier quoted context omitted.
Loom is software that, in one click, overlays your face in a bubble as you can narrate your screen recording, uploads it as it's recording, and when you press stop it copies a link to your clipboard you can share immediately with whoever you are showing. It's a very polished and complete experience. OBS is for streamers. It could be set up in a similar way if you already have a twitch channel hooked into it. It won't…
OBS works great when recording locally. Sure it works for streamers, but it also outputs to standard video formats easily. You don't need a twitch channel or anything like that. You'll need to figure out where to host the video after the fact (dropbox works well enough, as it allows the viewer to stream without downloading).

You're also robbing yourself of increasing the prices to keep the lights on. Business-wise this is not a very good idea. Also as a customer I have the feeling that this is a stupid idea. If the costs increase, you have to increase prices. If I like something and want to keep using it, that's the only way.

#128Is the ‘free’ part of open source not a priority? There is an AGPL license, but it looks like future contributors will be required to use proprietary services for this helping this project with Discord & Microsoft GitHub as the only communication options. If FOSS is good enough for your project, it should be good enough for the tools used to build your community…

#129Why just Mac and not Linux or NT?
