Might be a good idea, so that people could be able to filter those labeled videos

Still a good model though
Started with a simple idea: screen recorder with smooth zoom effects that follow your cursor. No post-processing needed.
The weird part: I hadn't announced it publicly yet. Someone found the landing page, tried it, and paid for it before I even launched. That was the validation moment.
After launch, the feedback loop was clear: people recorded with Screenix, then immediately exported to DaVinci/Premiere to tweak zoom timing and add overlays. So I built a full video editor into the app.
Current state:
- 2 sales (both organic, no paid marketing)
- 7-day free trial (no credit card required)
- One-time payment or subscription options
- Full editor with smooth zoom scrubbing, floating screens, timeline control
Technical challenges:
Wayland cursor position tracking is genuinely hard. The protocol restricts direct cursor access for security reasons, so I had to implement a cursor tracking extension to track it.
It works on Ubuntu but I'm still debugging Fedora integration.
Built with Rust + custom editor engine. Wayland support took longer than the entire recorder.
Linux needs quality native tools. screenix.studio
