what a day 🤯
Almost 1 year of working on @cap, the open source Loom/Cleanshot alternative.
100% free locally with no usage limits.
Powerful screen recorder & video editor, with support for screenshots, hotkeys, custom backgrounds, shareable links & more.
Rejected from YC.
Reason: Because I don’t have a cofounder.
Advice: Put myself in a better position to find a cofounder “perhaps physically, perhaps intellectually”.
Definitely an interesting experience.
Anyway, time to keep building 🫡
