Earlier quoted context omitted.

"You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilm's™ Brian Moriarty™? Why, it's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic, stunning, high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects, elegant point 'n' click control of characters, objects, and magic spells. Beat the rush! Go out and buy Loom™ today!"

I will not hide my disappointment that this headline was not, in fact, referring to the classic adventure game.

yes!!!

Disapponted it's not about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom_(video_game)

And here I am, thinking I had a unique comment to write. (I too was excited of that old classic being ported to mobile devices.)

Pirate button: "Ask me about LOOM" You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilms™ Brian Moriarty™? Why it's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic, stunning high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects.

For those who were confused like myself - this has absolutely nothing to do with the demoscene described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene

My first thought was of the adventure game Loom.

Glad it's not just me.

The beauty of Loom is that once you have it installed, either Desktop or Chrome, its one button - record a video, auto-generates the link, and you can immediately send off. I used it a ton, both as a software eng and with designers to better communicate back and forth things in my environment that would be wordy or hard to communicate.

I would imagine that if I worked on mobile apps instead of web ones, the benefit of a tool like this would be if I could click a button and have the same experience from my laptop/computer.

When I worked on a mobile app for a startup earlier this year, I'd use the Screen Recording, and then send it to myself through Whatsapp, then on my Mac send it off to the person I was targeting.

If I could use the app, record a video, and then have that auto-generate the URL and then have that immediately available on your platform so I can see that URL on my computer after refreshing, that would be quite handy.

Thank you for the feedback, I agree instant shareable link is huge selling point on Loom.

I’ll try to look into maybe like, a Vimeo/youtube integration for a quick solve.

Same here, I was confused and disappointed when I clicked the link and was presented with yet another screen recorder.

This is cool and would make a great tool for lots of creators, solo / small business people, etc.

If I can make a suggestion, work on the design. At the very least, the emojis don't work for describing what they are trying to, IMO.
