This repo is an active experiment. The primary goal of this app is to make it easy to create short screen recordings that are shareable to various platforms – such as LinkedIn and YouTube – all using web APIs. The app is intended to:

• be opinionated enough that a user can click a few buttons, and then have a nice-looking screen recording ready to go;
• be flexible enough that users can theme their screen recordings to their liking (to some extent);
• be sexy enough that the end result stands out from the rest of the screen recordings on the various platforms.

Technology used

• The UI is built using Svelte. Svelte rocks, and for an experimental UI like this, is a pleasure to use.
• Uses MediaDevice API for capturing screen, webcam, and mic.
• Uses AudioContext API for audio visualizations.
• Uses HTML canvas for drawing the video and audio visualizations, and CanvasRenderingContext2D's captureStream for capturing the canvas as a media stream.
• Uses MediaRecorder API for recording the media stream as a WebM.

End result is an interface that looks something like this:

(Still in progress, working on improving the UI and screen recording styling/layouts/presets.)
