I churned with Loom too because I don't need the storage part and was looking for an alternative. I like the idea of an open-source Loom alternative. However, if anyone is looking, I found out that an old software I was using, Cleanshot[1], added the feature to record your webcam and screen with their recent update. I have started using it again. For the upload part (I don't use their cloud), either using Dropbox or Google drive is pretty trivial to setup and is done by the time I finish writing the email or a cup of tea to send to anyone that needs it.

For the Sorbay founders here -- best of luck and congratulations on the launch. Personally, I felt your narrative is kinda made-up and not genuine or compelling enough (again, may be just me and trying to be open, trying to do the founder-to-founder open feedback). Can we try a different narrative? The reasoning is, why would the team just give up what they were doing and start working on a tool because one of their tool get in the way of getting their work done efficiently?

Finally, a tool such as a screen-recorder is good to have an open-source alternative but that's that -- it is open source for the sake of being open source and falls into the current hot open-source core but paid service layer business model.

Again, best of luck and I will definitely try it out once it is public, the pricing is decided and ready to use (not the waitlist thingy).
