Re: Show HN: I made a website recorder webapp you can use to create screencasts
#22I've been wanting something like this to exist - specifically for weird browser compatibility issues or for submitting bugs. There's been a few times where I've encountered a bug, sent a message about it to someone on Twitter, and wished I could send a quick Snapchat/Vine of the issue to them. This would be much better than numerous screenshots. It shows exactly how I produced the bug. This, hopefully, could allow me…
Try Jing: http://www.techsmith.com/download/jing/
It has a screencast feature that lets you create a video (which you can crop to whatever part of the screen) and then uploads that video onto their server and gives you a shareable link of the video.
At my last job, we used to use that for all of the bug reports, because it's a thousand times better than what you reference (taking multiple screenshots and having to explain exactly what's going on between them)
Here's an example of me using the program to get to this comment: http://screencast.com/t/zbfcEinhJN
It can be a little slow and wonky at times, but a lot of good (free!) features out of the box.

#24I was looking for something like this today.
This would be great for on-boarding tutorials, troubleshooting, etc..
If you could add text bubbles (similar to Youtube) that would be superb :)

#25A friend of mine is building something very similar, pitched at creating interactive guides for customer support. Might be worth looking at.
There's a demo guide here: http://wikipedia.nickelled.com/how-to-create-an-article?&ngr...
And a marketing site: https://www.nickelled.com/
