@cap Is a beautiful piece of software. So much better than @loom since the acquisition by @Atlassian, it's is just getting worse and worse, full of blotware. Also appreciate that Cap is open source. Highly recommend this to everyone.

whilst in SF I’ve purchased a MacBook Neo for testing

this little thing is surprisingly powerful!

pleased to say that the next version of @Cap runs *smoothly* on a A18 Pro chip with 8gb RAM. lots of new optimisations unlocked.

@bruvimtired @richiemcilroy You’re absolutely right!

[Ashley Peacock @_ashleypeacock]

Paying for Loom to record simple videos always irked me

I recently discovered Cap - an open-source alternative, and it's really good for simple screen capture stuff + light editing + runs entirely locally!

if we build a @Cap agent, should we add a --dangerously-record-desktop YOLO mode?

@enjidev you change the cursor settings in the Cursor tab within the editor. Change to a preset like “Fast”, or manually change the settings to your preference!

You can also disable custom cursor for future recordings if you wish, in Settings -> General

@dailydotdev this isn’t us pls stawp

Cap is proudly open source, and always will be.

We’ve been working hard on v0.4.85.

Lots of new updates, releasing this week!

[Richie @richiemcilroy]
