After trying out some of the most popular screen recorders for Chrome, I realized how lacking and limited many of them were. So I decided to create the most powerful screen recorder for Chrome, completely free and open source, with lots of features such as freedrawing, text, arrows, multiple cursor options, push to talk, custom countdowns, editing, and much more. Let me know what you think! I have also created a Google Sheet where I compared my tool to 30+ of the most popular Chrome Extensions in the area in terms of features: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1juc1zWC2QBxYqlhpDZZUNHl3P6Tens6YiChchFcEJVw/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1juc1zWC2QBxYqlhpDZZU...

looks very impressive! any plans for a non-chrome / standalone version?

  Thanks! I don't have any plans personally - I have made it open source so anyone can make their own version, maybe even port it to Firefox (which AFAIK shouldn't be too hard). As per standalone, I feel like it would have to be entirely rewritten, so it would basically mean developing it from zero.

Great work! This definitely will replace the other tools I use to record stuff in the browser!

You're really a genius. 19 and you create all this amazing graphics stuff, with amazing UX. Wow! What's your story for getting into software?

  Haha I turned 20 just a couple months ago :P Thanks! I've been coding from a very young age, I started at ~7 with Visual Basic making all sorts of programs, and Action Script in Flash for creating simple games. I've just been always had a lot of ideas I wanted to execute on, so whenever I thought "I wish X existed" I just learnt how to make it myself. That's how I got into web development specifically, at high school I wanted to have a better way to organize my homework and events so I built a collaborative task manager with many features (tags, Gantt chart with tasks starting when another ended, shared tasks between other students via teams, different priority assigned to tasks, choosing to see tasks only within a specific timeframe...), all without any prior knowledge of PHP or Javascript. I just watched a lot of tutorials and read through guides and I built it in a few months.

    Cool to hear stories like this. I started around 18yrs old with irc bots, then wordpress, php, js, nodejs, ts, rust etc. The programmer's life can at times feel effortless when it's driven by a passion to create.
