it is true that $975M is too high a price for a screen recorder when they could have bought a licence to Cleanshot for $19
- j45 3y agoNeat. Does cleanshot auto upload and process the video as well?
- blairbeckwith 3y agoThere is an associated cloud service called Cleanshot Cloud – all licenses get a small amount of storage for free, or you can upgrade to Unlimited for a monthly subscription. Alternatively, because it's a great native-first app, you can just set the saving directory to an existing cloud provider on your machine like Dropbox and let it handle uploading and serving the file.
- j45 3y agoAssociated? See the thing with something like loom is it just works. I used mono snap for a while for example. Native apps to capture are great but they seem to get acquired.
- blairbeckwith 3y agoI'm not sure what your point is. Lots of apps, native or not, get acquired. What are we talking about here?
- j45 3y agoWe are talking about why you are comparing an acquisition for 975M to a license purchase of $19?
- programmarchy 3y agoYeah, Loom nailed this feature. Streaming the upload while recording means the video is ready to share instantly, which is very slick. Great UX.
- j45 3y agoThey really did nail it. Maybe it’s easier now to do but it definitely was faster than a native app locally uploading to the cloud as you record.
