Hey there! I built an open-source tool called Snapify, which is designed to make screen recording sharing a breeze, just like Loom, but with the added benefit of being completely open-source.

Let's say you quickly want to get a message across, there are three main ways:

  1. Get into a meeting
  2. Write a wall of text
  3. Share a quick recording

Recordings will look like this (new link): https://snapify.it/share/clk3mpgnu0003mj0f042964wg

I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas on how I may be able to improve the app. Is anyone here using Loom?

This is not the Loom I was hoping for.

I took was crushed. Why hasn't Loom gotten a remaster or sequel yet? It ended on a cliffhanger like 30 years ago!

@AbidanYre I was hoping it would be a Jaquard. Maybe self host the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:A_Jacquard_loom_showing_information_punchcards,_National_Museum_of_Scotland.jpg that hold the programing. Those card have been used 200+ years later to exactly recreate historical textiles for restoration purposes. That is some datahoarding!

Back on topic, I wish people would do more to describe their projects than say it's "like x". I don't know all the different existing projects so its meaningless.

Maaan, I haven't seen this in years, such a great game. You can even play it online now, although you'd probably have to do it in one session :D
