We built neetoRecord ( https://neeto.com/neetoRecord ) which is also a Loom alternative. Full disclosure - I'm part of the team that built neetoRecord.
It’s poor taste to hijack another “show hn” post. Probably not against the rules but definitely frowned upon. Similar to proposing to significant other at a friends engagement party.

Ppl who discover a category of software might hesitate to try it out while looking for alternatives to compare it against.
It also helps the author be aware of other features that might be of interest to them.
Cap.so would still remain my first option to try out. It's unique compared to another good screen capture, screenity.io, which is more locally run in the browser.

I disagree - the fact you don’t know what Loom is probably means you’re not in the market for this kind of software. Better, at this stage, to focus on users who will immediately get it rather than explain to folks who don’t currently have a need.
People may well use Loom-like functionality that’s integrated into other tools they use without knowing the name “Loom”. Loom had a head-start, but other companies (e.g. Vimeo) copied the feature pretty quickly. And also, more importantly, this is a “Show HN” post, so reasonable for people here to question the comparison.
It is unfortunate this is being discussed rather than the product.
Some honest feedback: describe your product/tool without using a competitor’s name. I’m on mobile and the landing page only tells me “recording software” and “Loom” before it drops into Twitter like 3rd party comments. I honestly have never used Loom. I don’t know what it is. Do you really want me to have to go look up “the competition” just to know who you are?
Yes, I thought of Java virtual threads - the Project Loom. Have never heard of the other Loom.

Same. I’ve never heard of Loom and (therefore?) I’m honestly not sure how this would be different on a Mac than a QuickTime screen recording. And since the promo images are from a Mac, my first thought is Quicktime is probably safer.
Just to address this comment chain: loom does make it easier to do screen recordings and demos, and additionally has features like timestamped comments and notes and sharing functionality. The target customer is a business who is making demo videos and needs these kinds of tracking/collaboration/commenting features. Folks interested in open source maybe want a better offering, don’t want to be locked in, want more fa…
I love it. I forget why I quit using Loom but you're my new default now. One feature request: When I press "Start Recording" via the browser, I don't want it to immediately start recording that screen. Give me a 3…2…1…Go with a sound so I can minimize my browser and show what I want to record. I don't all my videos to start with me fumbling for the Start button.
