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?

I used to use Loom, and I love the idea of having it self hosted. I read the the git page and have a simple question (I'm not a very advanced user): How does this work?

Loom runs as a desktop client (Windows in my case) and then there is the server side software that handles serving the videos to others. From what I can tell there is no local client.
