This will be my last post to HN about this. I always like to try a few titles to see if any hit.

However you can still play the original game with ScummVM, available on many platforms, including Android.
I hadn't heard about loom until I read the founder's post about how difficult it was being rich and successful.
Hope you're not looking to hike through Hawaiian forests or not become an NPC at Big Co
Feedback, watching your YouTube video, it is clear that the self thumbnail is covering a large part of the screen. I noticed you can enlarge/reduce the size, but it will still covering part of the screen considering mobile dims are a lot smaller than desktop.
It would be nice to 80/20 ratio where 80 is for the mobile and 20 for your selfie camera and logo/title/description of what you’re demoing.
All the best!
I did add some title/annotation functionality after making that demo
But your right, there should be a way to avoid screen cover
(I too was excited of that old classic being ported to mobile devices.)
Does Loom really not offer this capability as an iOS app? I never checked but that's crazy if they don't. Regardless, I think this solves a problem for sure! Congrats on building and launching.
There are tons of iOS screen recorders that record either the camera, or the screen, but none do both.
I also had a janky solution, which prompted me to build this
iOS guardrails make that pretty much impossible
I had to accepts some tradeoffs to get this specific collection of features, Face Cam, touches, etc…
I’ve heard Android might allow more, and I’ll be looking into an Android port soon.
The tradeoffs here were aimed at doing it all live in a single take
Maybe it will help SEO if people get stuck and search Loom Mobile
From what I’ve gathered, the Android version might be better due to lesser screen recording constraints
I would imagine that if I worked on mobile apps instead of web ones, the benefit of a tool like this would be if I could click a button and have the same experience from my laptop/computer.
When I worked on a mobile app for a startup earlier this year, I'd use the Screen Recording, and then send it to myself through Whatsapp, then on my Mac send it off to the person I was targeting.
If I could use the app, record a video, and then have that auto-generate the URL and then have that immediately available on your platform so I can see that URL on my computer after refreshing, that would be quite handy.
I’ll try to look into maybe like, a Vimeo/youtube integration for a quick solve.
If I can make a suggestion, work on the design. At the very least, the emojis don't work for describing what they are trying to, IMO.
I’ll try to improve the design of that toolbar
