The output quality was quite bad for me. I'd love to be able to use some webapp for sporadic recordings, but I'll have to stick to OBS.

#122Hi HN, I've built a 100% web-based screen recording tool aimed at product marketing managers, developers, or anyone wanting to showcase their work along with a talking head. Inspired by ScreenStudio, it allows you to effortlessly create polished recordings directly from your browser. A couple of technical highlights I'm particularly proud of: Initially, I used ReMotion but ran into limitations. I ended up building my…
Nice work! I really like how simple it was to get started. I know this would make it a bit harder to signup, but I think you should consider creating a Chrome Extension that allows you to get the real mouse coordinates, if possible. I think the animations feel a bit rougher compared to ScreenStudio, so maybe having the real coordinates would help. But maybe that's fixable with more smoothing or easing.
Hey Jacob, great observation. I actually already have a chrome extension and I tried to launch it but no one would download it. That’s why I made it so easy to get started this way and had to go through such great lengths to get the cursor but I agree with you 100% the animations are actually terrible right now. I’m working on them as we speak and I’m throwing all sorts of tricks in the mix to try to get it to work better. I’d love if you follow along on my website is a link to the Twitter. If you follow me, I’ll be announcing when I update the animation changes.

I’d like to work on this with you. There are a lot of levers I can pull to increase the quality. Hit me up via email.

I don't think you need much input, I'm a very casual user so I don't really know anything about video quality/size balances. The only thing I can tell you is that in my case I wanted to prioritize quality, as I was recording a short clip of a small window.

Probably having the license AGPL or some certain restriction where you can only attract the big business users on this product. Let's be honest, you can make money from the small guys but they are little cents as compared to giving corps self hosting guides / licenses like docker..., I know they may not come under pure open source, but the question is tricky, and so is the answer. So this becomes "fair source" I gues…
> I just want the code itself to be readable & buildable from scratch, I want to trust in the process that there are atleast some person who have searched this code and found no malicious use. I want it so that I can modify your program if I really want to, maybe even redistribute that modifications. Yes. You want, want, want. But I asked what you are willing to give to get what you want and it seems to be nothing.
Yea because I am just a teenager and to be honest pretty broke right now. I can not give money, I am a pretty frugal person, the Environment and my upbringing has made me such.
Though I will contribute to the project on issues I suppose. That's the least I can/will do.

Absolutely I will. In Chrome, you can right click the video and save it. Thank you for the kind words about the YouTube series - the idea is to build a tool I myself can use, so I have all sorts of things I want to add like title pages, text, etc.
Including some text that says "Right click to download" would dramatically decrease your bounce rate. I was a bounce without that feature. That sounds like it would be a good niche to pivot into. Eventually you'll have to charge, so differentiating yourself here would be key. Also, make sure you are aware of which 'channel' you are receiving your feedback from, and skewing your bias to account when deciding a roadmap…
Hey, I would love to explore building this for you. The reason why I built a software is to give me a platform to build things to other people need so if you have a use case and you feel like my product can serves the basis for it, you should write me at john@screenrecorder.com.

cam.so (opensource, free for personal, local)
I've tried the domain as well as searching DDG and Github and can't find this software. But I'm intrigued by it. Where I can find this?
I'm so sorry. It's https://cap.so/

#129This is actually amazing! Kinda miss the squircles from ScreenStudio though. Any plans on adding them in the near future?

Don't worry about the docker container right now, since the community can figure it out though it would obviously be a great step imo. First we really need the Source code of this tool though if we really want this tool to stay for posterity!
"For posterity"? What is the cultural significance of this tool that would require it?
Ok, so none. That wasn’t so difficult was it?
