I made this: Share screen recordings instantly
Hey Indie Hackers! 👋🏻
I'm so excited to share my newest project with you. Last week I wanted to send a friend a short video of an issue on a website but there didn't seem to be anything that would let me send a short 10 sec screen recording. Loom sounded great and the team behind it does some incredible work (definitely check them out!) but I didn't want to install an extension again.
So I decided to build https://shareit.video which does just that. It let's you share screen recordings instantly. No extensions, no apps, no logins. It took me a whole week to get it up and running but now it's done and I hope you'll find it as useful as I do.
Let me know what you think!

This is great. I will be using it:-) Do you plan to charge a fee?
I really like tools that you can use completely for free. I'll probably make a free forever version and a premium version. Thanks for the kind words! :)
wow, that's genius! Taking my hat off!
Question - in your terms you state that by uploading I grant "a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use your content" - does it mean that you're someday going to publish some of it somewhere?
Oh no never! It actually says: "By uploading content, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use your content in connection with the provision of our service." which is needed legally.
great :) you've got a new service advocate ;)
This is really cool! I'm probably not your target user, since I'm too paranoid about recording something I'm not meant to and uploading it to the servers. I wouldn't use Loom either.
Out of curiosity, what tech stack did you use to make this? I understand if you wouldn't want to share. :)
No worries, I used, react, next.js, the media recorder api and firebase. If you’re interested in tech stacks of different sites you can use wappalyzer :)
Thanks! I didn't know about Wappalyzer. Will check it out. Cheers
by the way - do you plan to add a "download" button, so the user could download the video for offline use instead of uploading it? There are certain use-cases where I would want to make a rather long (e.g. 1hr) recordings, and I don't want to bloat your server space with them.
