Hello, thanks for checking out my launch. I made this because I couldn't get a Recorder Chrome Extension to work in the last 20 minutes of a hackathon and I had to record the demo with my phone. Afterwards I checked the analytics and the judges apparently didn't even look at the product page. I decided to go ahead and make a recorder that didn't require a download because no download means you don't have to uninstall afterwards.
How do you handle privacy? Is anything uploaded?

Thanks Michael, I was waiting for somebody to ask. This is a 100% frontend project which is why I named it Serverless Cam. There should not be any REST API calls save for perhaps Google Analytics. I used reactjs with a divjoy codebase and RecordRTC.

Love the concept and the simplicity of the website.
This didn't seem to work properly in Firefox. Tried recording a browser tab and it gave back a 9 byte file. Seemed to work great in Chrome though.
Looks like it uses recordRTC which might be a chrome-only thing.

I am encoding the video in VP8 which is supported by firefox so it should work :/
Interesting. I just tried it on Firefox. I have to concur with . Unfortunately it seems something is a little screwy with Firefox. Is there a formal place you would like us to report issues or is adding them to this thread ok?

You can dm me on twitter haha. This is happening because Firefox thinks it's a text file. Strange because I'm setting the mimetype in the header to 'video/webm' and when I print the blob on chrome it's also 'video/webm'. I'm noticing the same problem with a few npm pkg stylesheets as well. RecordRTC is supposed to work for firefox.
super simple, love it - worked great on chrome! and would love to chat, hmu on twitter if you'd like, dms should be open
Gosh my friend tried this and I only see privacy issues. The recorder was going to record her browser as well as her private files she had open for work.

Its called serverless.cam because there is no backend, no servers. I understand that the permissions might be off-putting, but the recorded content is not sent anywhere, in fact it is deleted when you close the page.
