Description
Long-time HN lurker, first time poster.This is something I put together over a few days, it's a simple offline-only screen recorder with webcam compositing that works on any modern desktop browser.As much as I love Loom to avoid meetings, I don't want to pay for useless features and have my recordings essentially paywalled. I hate SaaS.With Loom's recent price increase, I thought I'd finally share it. Feedback is welcome

Yes Modern browser APIs like MediaRecorder and getDisplayMedia allow full client-side screen and webcam capture composited on an HTML5 canvas without needing any backend server.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
