Hey HN, we're excited to introduce Sorbay - an open source alternative to Loom for creating and sharing screen recordings. With Sorbay, you can easily record your screen, camera, and microphone all at once. It is a complete solution that comes with its own backend service, allowing you to instantly share a link of your recording as soon as it is finished.
