This is such an on-brand HN response. “You don’t need Loom, just do these [10 inconvenient steps] and it’s the same”. How do you share and upload those videos?

This is such an on-brand HN response. “You don’t need Loom, just do these [10 inconvenient steps] and it’s the same”.
How do you share and upload those videos? Where are they hosted? Can you set a CTA on the video? Get transcripts? Find who has viewed your video? Add a custom thumbnail? Get comments on your video? Set a description?
These are all baked-in things that Loom handles, not to mention one-click recording that doesn’t involve wiring together 3 different apps.
- Nezteb 3y agoAgreed, especially because Compressor is $50: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/compressor/id424390742 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/compressor/id424390742 At that point, you may as well just buy CleanShot X for $30: https://cleanshot.com/ https://cleanshot.com/
- m3kw9 3y agoIf you are good as cmd line, you can have some sort of job to monitor and use ffmpeg to auto compress/convert.
- m3kw9 3y agoIt’s actually one step if you just want screen recording shift cmd 5 at any time, going to loom you likely need 5-10 clicks to start one. I do agree loom provide auto saves, share but like I said if you have ssd space and don’t need to share instantly..
