Congratulations on the release, is there a plan to opensource it? I've been using https://snapify.it/ , it's opensource but I haven't been able to selfhost it.

Thank you pratio! I quit my job and this is my full time gig now. I've got about three years of runway, so if I can't get it to PMF soon--then yes and I'll move on to something else. I'm super passionate about this though. Totally up my alley as a Dev and aspiring Growth Hacker, Product Marketing Manager. The idea is to build a tool and use it to grow itself. Also, anyone want to talk offline about anything at all, p…

Hey! Great product you released. Don't feel pressured by the people asking you to release everything for free, it's a terrible strategy to create a profitable business.

Seems cool! But for privacy reasons I prefer to do the recording locally and send the file myself. I've been using the extension https://cursorful.com/ (only for Chrome), which doesn't upload the video to the cloud, it just does everything locally, and the free tier features are enough for me.

I have used cursorful before but make sure you aren't using it for commerical use, need to buy a license for that. I really want a free version from commercial use tbh, not that cursorful is expensive

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I use getDisplayMedia which is a JavaScript API that lets you capture recordings as large as your computer can handle, but the format is fixed to either MP4 or WebM. Here is the JS-based player: https://screenrecorder.me/projects/s3hx9YRgXNsrN1s/player Here is a video that I rendered: https://screenrecorder.me/player/s3hx9YRgXNsrN1s There are definitely artifacts, especially in the latter, but in practice the videos…

Would it also capture system audio? Wasn’t there some security restrictions on that for MacOS

Audio capture support apparently available on all desktop browsers except Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevice...

Don't worry about the docker container right now, since the community can figure it out though it would obviously be a great step imo. First we really need the Source code of this tool though if we really want this tool to stay for posterity!

No mate, you need to help the creator of the tool to make enough money from it to create a sustainable business/project

both are possible
