#2Author here. Added some cool features like trimming and cropping, to make it easier for you to nail on the particular area of your screen and keep the recording to a minimum. Let me know what you think!

#3Pretty cool Joao, works fluent!
Now for instruction videos where e.g. typing is involved, I'll prefer ScreenToGif still (e.g. because of frame speed and export options (webm, mp4), but if it's to record a video on screen or something quick, this works just as easy, if not easier.

I like this! It's scoped and does exactly what it should. I didn't know about the cropping until I read this, maybe add some text explaining the feature?

#6Safari is a modern browser, but this doesn't work on it. Perhaps changing the description to the specific browsers supported(Chrome, Firefox, etc.) would be best?
ADDENDUM: Thought that maybe just detecting the browser is best, showing a notice that the tool doesn't work with it.

Maybe Safari is no longer a modern browser.

#8Neat idea but it doesn't work for me. Not sure if it's because of my browsers (Brave Browser) or my operating system (Arch Linux) or because of my window manager (AwesomeWM). No matter if I select record entire window or one window, I end up with a GIF that has the right duration but it's only black.

Probably hardware vs software screen buffer issue.

#10I seriously just was thinking I needed this to send some customer's some demos / examples of changes I'd made to web apps and etc... this is great.
