Keycast is live, replayable blogging. Everything you type is immediately visible to viewers. Typos, Freudian slips, everything else — if you type it, they'll see it. After casting, you'll be able to replay that cast just as if it were happening live. Just share a link and it'll all be there, ready to be lived or relived at any moment.

This reminds me of a project that @kevinrose, @hemeon, @zinssmeister worked on a few years ago (which I don't think ever launched):

@kevinrose @hemeon @rrhoover you are right, what we prototyped was never released but it was pretty cool especially on mobile 🤓

@allwynpfr Great question! Honestly, right now, I'm kind of curious just to see how it fits in the marketplace. I originally imagined it be used by social commentators and mainstream bloggers as a creative, vulnerable, raw way to share content with followers. But as I get more and more feedback, I can see it being received differently than that... not sure what to expect at this point! Until that "fit" happens, I'll be ready to pivot and adapt as needed.

Good idea, but .... In Spanish, the accents dissapear and make the words look funny. And in some cases, there are also certain letters that are not recorded if I type fast. My first cast: https://www.keycast.live/eduardo...

This is cool @amacarthur !!! I constantly had to keep scrolling as i went through the playback, so maybe an auto-scroll would be beneficial.

I’ve wanted this for video production before— for on screen annotations. The “made by a human” part is key.

MUUUCH thanks for all the feedback I've gotten on Keycast. I'm already working on some of the suggestions I've gotten as well as working out some of the kinks. One of the most requested features so far has been auto-scrolling, so that you don't have to keep manually swiping down to see a longer cast. That's out in production now, which you can see with this cast: https://www.keycast.live/alexmac... More to come! Thanks again for giving it a shot and letting me know your thoughts.
