Free Web-Based Tool Launches as Screen Studio Alternative

Free web-based tool for creating and editing screen recordings

From Hacker News Original Article Hacker News Discussion

A new browser-based screen recording tool lets users create polished product demos and tutorials without logging in, offering quick capture, editing, and sharing.

Why it matters: Users can produce professional screen recordings entirely in-browser, simplifying workflow and eliminating software installs.

The big picture: Overcomes browser limitations with a custom animation engine and AI-driven cursor tracking for smooth mouse-follow effects.

The stakes: Limited compatibility with mobile devices and browsers like Firefox and Safari may restrict user adoption.

Commenters say: Praise the ease and innovation but raise concerns about browser support, recording length, privacy, and self-hosting options.
