   I have been porting the extension to Firefox, but I ran into a problem with getDisplayMedia (to record the screen). Apparently it can only be run through a user gesture (DOM event), but I have to run it from the background script in order t

   Thank you! It took me around a month to make, it was a pretty straightforward project.

   Thanks! I spent several days searching for screen recorder extensions and trying them out one by one. It was helpful to understand all the features Screenity needed, not just based on what was available in the extensions, but also from what

   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 alwa

   Thanks! I might work on a Firefox version since there seems to be a lot of people interested, porting shouldn't be that hard: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/10/porting-chrome-extensions-...

   Thanks, in terms of privacy if you're worried you're free to self host the tool using the code from GitHub instead of installing the extension from the Chrome Store. But it doesn't store any data whatsoever, it's all cli

   It should be easy yeah, maybe in the future I (or someone else using the code from the repo) could port it to Firefox.

   Thank you! Maybe there could be a shortcut to hide it, or the option to place it elsewhere, hm. I might think of some solution for this, although I'm not sure when I'll be able to look into it. You could modify the CSS in the cont

    Thanks :) It absolutely does not, I didn't even set up a user system (unlike most other screen recorders) for that reason. For privacy purposes in any case the code is open source - I was thinking about adding a section in GitHub on ho

    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 ent

    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

    Awesome. And indeed, I do plan on adding more mockups + the option for people to make their own (selecting the area where the video would be placed). It seems like there is some demand.

    There's lots of platforms in that space and yet I am surprised that pretty much all of them are "read-only". I have yet to see one that allows writing to the sheet so users browsing the generated site can submit their own con

    You mean to use for the screens in the devices? The thing is though that the video/GIF export in that case would be useless as the whole thing would be static. So while it's completely possible for me to add, I just don't see

    I actually didn't, but I'm pretty sure it is similar in terms of capabilities. I liked FabricJs because of its thorough documentation, having lots of examples, and because I saw a strong community on GitHub and other places. Fabri

    Agh, you are correct. Just put up a disclaimer whenever people try to use the tool in Safari. Thanks for the heads up!

    Thanks! Basically it was just an inconvenience I had whenever making product announcements/concepts for both Dribbble and Twitter, where I would record the screen of a product in action and then have to spend ages in After Effects to m

    That was the idea :) Glad you think so too! And yeah, I can definitely see that. Shouldn't be too hard to come up with a mobile-friendly UI I think.

    After noticing how hard it was to create shots on Dribbble without the proper tools (e.g. After Effects), I decided to work on a tool to create animated mockup videos and GIFs on the web, for free. Using FabricJs I added a fully interactive

    I kept it to a single "tree" so I could implement a simple mechanic to delete blocks - dragging and dropping them anywhere in the canvas. I also would have to take into account blocks overlapping (unless I automatically spaced the

    I was surprised at the lack of any simple or straightforward libraries to create flowcharts in JavaScript, so I made my own. It's very easy to implement, and it has all the basic functionality - drag, drop, rearrange, and delete. I als
