I m working on a new annotation and drawing experience in Phia that lets you draw and highlight while recording. My goal is to keep it fast, minimal, and natural, so annotations improve the video without feeling distracting.
I m sharing the current design and would really appreciate honest feedback. Does this feel intuitive to use while recording? Are the pen and highlighter styles useful? Is there anything missing, or anything you d simplify?
I m still iterating on this, and early feedback will directly shape what I build next. Thanks for taking the time to look and share your thoughts.
Just finished building the native macOS app after starting with a Chrome extension, and I d love to involve the community early as we shape what comes next.
If you record screens or create product demos:
What do you usually struggle with after recording?
What features do you wish screen recording tools did better?
Are there any workflows you d love Phia to support next?
