An app to make demo vids

Of course I have a demo vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_fq0TzlsXI

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

Not this Loom right?

Ha, I was not aware of that loom. I’ll have to check it out, thanks for sharing

This is what I assumed and starting with the comments was very confusing.

That was a sleek demo, good job! Only thing that I could nitpick is if you polished your floating toolbars to look a bit more Apple-y, this feels like something Apple is going to be sending you an acquihire for.
admtal•52m ago
Thank you - you’re right, I should Liquid Glassify that app asap

"You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilm's™ Brian Moriarty™? Why, it's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic, stunning, high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects, elegant point 'n' click control of characters, objects, and magic spells. Beat the rush! Go out and buy Loom™ today!"

Loom just reminds me of the cringey-est blog post I have ever read.

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

I’m not planning on it, but to be completely honest I don’t want to rule it out

For those who were confused like myself - this has absolutely nothing to do with the demoscene described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene

Really cool demo, well done on creating such a nice app.

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!

This is a great idea, thank you

I did add some title/annotation functionality after making that demo

But your right, there should be a way to avoid screen cover

Very cool! I do this today by connecting my phone to my laptop and recording via Loom. It's a bit janky for sure and the video is off because I looking down at my phone and not the webcam [1].

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.

Thank you, and yes, Loom does not offer it

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
