Screen Recorder - A minimal, ad-free screen recorder in your browser

@jaydanurwin great job, this is really what I need.

@jaydanurwin omg thanks 4 making this app! its amazing now i can take videos and put them on yt thatnks to u

@veebuv Great questions! One of the main differences if you're comparing it to products like Loom and Screencastify is those are both chrome extensions (Loom also has a desktop app yes but still). Chrome extensions are great for some but definitely have their limitations and privacy concerns. For example, they only work in Chrome and now the new Microsoft Edge browser based on Chromium (there will never be Firefox or Safari support). The privacy aspect is that chrome extensions are in fact an extension of your browser running in the background and most of them need full access to view whatever your web browser is looking at at all times they are running. The other main difference with Screen Recorder is it's free (it'll remain that way, I promise) and there is no requirement to make an account. "Just go to the website and hit record" was kind of the goal of the product. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

@veebuv The other thing I'd like to call out in addition to it just being a website is it's a PWA meaning you can install it to your desktop with the click of a button in most modern browsers (like Chrome or Microsoft Edge). There's no bulk download process necessary. Just click the "+" install button in the top right of your browser's url bar.

Also a bit of explanation about privacy and how the data is handled would be nice. From the privacy and data security perspective it's an horrible idea to use a web app to do screen captures. Where does my video go? Who has access to it? Is it deleted after I download it? Is it monitored by someone when I am using it? Is the connection between my computer and the web app encrypted? And so many other questions of this kind come to my mind....

@giulio_maselli Thank you for the feedback! When I designed it I wanted there to be nothing getting in the way of the user's goal which is why it ended up so minimal but I always will take constructive criticism so thank you. As for the privacy concerns I completely understand. If you see the "i" icon in the bottom right corner you actually can click that button to see a dialog box of the product features and info. This is where I highlight everything is happening directly in your own browser. There is no upload of recording data of any kind in Screen Recorder and it'll remain that way. The site is also HTTPS encrypted and fully static so it really is just a simple website, servers are not running the app.

@chrisbuttenham It's definitely a possibility! Although I did want to emphasize the fact that is a PWA. Meaning you can actually install it your desktop and access it from your App dock, desktop, or applications folder. Just click the "+" install icon in the top right of your browser's url bar (in Edge and Chrome right now). Thank you for the request though, I'll keep it in mind!

@aditya_kandari Thank you so much for the compliment! I really did want to design it in a minimalist way so there is nothing getting in the way of getting a quick and easy recording.

@claudinei_felipe Duly noted! I was thinking of adding a pre-recording timer of 3 seconds. Thank you for the feedback!

@marie_dostoewskaya Thank you, I'm glad you like it! I built it out of my own need of a simple way to get a quick no-fuss recording so I hope it helps you and your colleagues do the same!

@giulio_maselli @mert_solak Feel free to see my reply for a little more detail but if you click the info "i" icon in the bottom right corner I highlight privacy as one of its main features. Let me know if you have any other feedback, I'm all ears!
