Pretty 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.

#22Safari 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.
Does it work at all in MacOS? With all of the isolation that the Mac does, I could see this not working without giving it permission in settings.

#23I don't mean to rain on your parade but... ShareX... enough said.
Looking at ShareX it seems to be Windows only though?

#24Author 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!

#25Also, slightly related, Google Mail (and probably other products) has a "Report issue" feature, where I can take a screenshot of the current tab (and even crop it), is that in any way related (technology-wise)?

#28side note: if you're on windows, win+g is a great new tool for the same.

#29Unfortunately there are still many places where only images are allowed (e,g, GitHub README). HEIF is supposed to solve this problem but support is apparently abysmal.[1]
Anyone aware of any progress on a replacement of GIF?
