ScreenDemos – A Firefox/Chrome screen recorder for product demos

Hacker News

I have been building a lot of side projects alongside my studies and I often found myself needing a quick way to record and share demos of my apps. After trying out some of the most popular screen recorders, I didn't find any that met my needs. I wanted a tool to quickly record high-quality product demos without downloading multiple pieces of software. So I decided to take on the challenge and build a simple yet powerful screen recorder extension that allows you to record directly from your browser. It has a few key features such as smooth animated cursor, zoom effects, shortcuts hints and much more that I plan to add. It's my first time launching a product to production so any feedback is greatly appreciated! I have also created a spreadsheet where I compared my tool with popular screen recorders if you want to learn more: https://screendemos.com/comparison
