Hey, everyone 👋 It's been an amazing journey so far building Cap over the last 6 months. The support from everyone whilst building, testing and iterating on what Cap is has been crazy. Without you I couldn't have done it and I'm so happy to finally launch. However, there's still a lot to do. This is the first version of Cap. The aim isn't to be the open source alternative to Loom, it is to be the open source successor. And together - we'll do it. Right now Cap is a little rough around the edges - but I'm fixing any reported feedback/bugs/edge cases asap. Thank you so much 🥹

Comment highlights

I was looking for an open source alternative of loom and seems like Cap is what I need. Taking a look at the github repo and product. Thanks! 🚀

Great product Richie 🙌. The fact that Cap is OSS creates infinite possibilities for integrations and user customization.

Congratulations on the launch of Cap, Richie! 🎉 It's impressive to see the amount of dedication and hard work you've put into creating this open-source alternative to Loom. The community support and feedback you've received so far must be incredibly motivating. As you continue to refine Cap and strive to become the successor in the open-source space, what key features or improvements are you most excited to implement in the upcoming versions? Keep up the fantastic work!

Congratulations on the launch of Cap! It sounds like a game-changing product that will revolutionize the way we record and share content. Cheers to the Cap team! 🎉

I've been following your progress ever since you pitched me this idea! Great stuff, dude!

@richiemcilroy This looks great! I see you used Tauri. I've been considering using it for a personal project, but haven't tried it out yet. I know a lot of people have used Electron, but haven't seen as many examples of products built with Tauri. How did you find the experience? Would you still recommend it?

Congratulations on the launch of Cap! It's inspiring to hear about your journey and the support you've received along the way. Best regards! 🙌

hahah, at first glance I saw 'Rich' in the name and thought, 'wow Cal is launching another tool? Sweet." Turns out there's no relation to @peer_rich I assume, just me being too tired while using Producthunt. but...hoping the 2 people with Rich in their name can take on the world with Open Source alternatives 😆🚀 Signing up to try the free version! Huge congrats on your launch! Landing looks amazing.

Congrats on launching Cap. Been following Richie’s progress in the COSS space for a while. So much love in the details and man this guy ships 💪 Big plus: killer 3 letter domain

Have been watching Richie build a killer alternative to Loom for the last couple of months — super excited to see this finally launch! Huge congrats 💪

Waiting for this for a long time. Finally a good open source competitor for loom!
