Capme
Hi HN, I built Capme because I passionately hate meetings (80% of that is just wasted time), but screen recorders either cost $18/month, add watermarks or I can't convince Janet in accounting to install any software whatsoever. I just wanted something simple that everyone can use without signups, basically the excalidraw of video recording. So that's exactly what I set out to build: Capme is a free screen recorder, no accounts needed, no time limits, no watermarks, no cloud uploads. You choose a background, add a logo, and hit record. If you feel like you need it, write a script in the…

What it does
Skip the meeting and keep your data. Capme is privacy-first video messaging for teams who handle sensitive work. No limits, no watermarks, no accounts needed. Your videos stay on your device, ready for your own secure storage.
Capme is the async video app against unnecessary meetings. Videos never leave your device. One flat rate, no per-seat pricing.
Replace meetings with short videos. For organizations with 50 to 1,000 people. And that's calculated with only 2 hours of meetings per day. Most of those meetings could be a 5-minute video. One flat rate. Your entire org gets access - not just a handful of power users. Drop a video into Slack, Notion, or Teams. Standard MP4 - no viewer account required. Your videos are recorded, processed, and saved on your device. They never touch our servers - not one frame. You share the file, not a link to our cloud. Slides + camera in one take. Shared on their schedule, no meeting required. Your team wants to hear from you - not join another 8am call. Capme is the screen recorder built to replace…from capme.app

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
