This is very useful and nicely put together. Well done! An easy iframe embed link on the playback page would be nice (pro feature?). Also, being able to target a window using the spacebar (like the native screenshot app) would be useful, as would full screen recording (at the moment if I go to the top left of the screen with the intention of dragging the selection box over the whole screen, the menubar gets in the way). Finally, I noticed that the progress percentage goes backwards sometimes (41% ... 42% ... 43% ... 41% ... 44%)

Thanks pastylegs. Love this feedback.

menu bar overlap: that too - thanks for pointing it out.

iframe embed: a few people asked for that. we'll definitely consider it.

Did you come at this from the perspective of software like OBS and xSplit? Or from an alternative point of view?

my point view: i want to show somebody something that has a sequence and don't want it to take a long time. that was really it.

Why would anyone even want this? The most important part of recording is the ability to have multiple takes, which is hindered if every take is to be uploaded at the same time. All other use cases can be covered by streaming your desktop.

how do you stream your desktop?

Skype screen sharing works fine. Apparently Quicktime does too.
