Free, open-source, and lightweight alternative to loom.com. No installation or sign-up required. Just open a web page, and get a loom-like floating window. Works with all the screen recording tools.

Hey everyone, I built this lightweight and hacky loom alternative for my own use and thought it could be useful to a few of you, so sharing it here. Feel free to share this with others in your network who may be looking to do loom-like recordings using their favorite screen recorders. I hope this is useful for the community. 😀 Cheers, Jay

Always LOVE open source. That's a great product, Jay. Good luck with the launch!

Awesome stuff congratulations 🥳. Does stopping give you an option to save the video?

@fejirogospel It doesn't do any recording. A separate screen recording tool should be used to actually record the screen -- most OSes come with some sort of screen recording tool (or you can use any other one as well). This web page only shows your webcam feed as a floating window.

congrats on the launch! Definitely worth building, Loom is ridiculously overpriced for what it is.
