Hey, everyone πŸ‘‹ It's been an amazing journey so far building Cap over the last 6 months. The support from everyone whilst building, testing and iterating on what Cap is has been crazy. Without you I couldn't have done it and I'm so happy to finally launch. However, there's still a lot to do. This is the first version of Cap. The aim isn't to be the open source alternative to Loom, it is to be the open source successor. And together - we'll do it. Right now Cap is a little rough around the edges - but I'm fixing any reported feedback/bugs/edge cases asap. Thank you so much πŸ₯Ή

hahah, at first glance I saw 'Rich' in the name and thought, 'wow Cal is launching another tool? Sweet." Turns out there's no relation to @peer_rich I assume, just me being too tired while using Producthunt. but...hoping the 2 people with Rich in their name can take on the world with Open Source alternatives πŸ˜†πŸš€ Signing up to try the free version! Huge congrats on your launch! Landing looks amazing.

Will there be a browser extension for this? Or its more focussed to work from the website only?
Richie
@tushar_v1 There'll be a browser extension eventually - right now you can either use the web app, or the macOS app πŸ‘Œ
