  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

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.

@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
