Capsule – Make “video” recordings of any website, but as pure HTML/JS

Capsule – Make “video” recordings of any website, but as pure HTML/JS launched on December 22, 2020 with 20 votes, #927 of 3,242 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Capsule is a tool that captures website interactions and converts them into standalone HTML and JavaScript files that can be replayed without internet access. Users can record actions on any website and share these recordings as self-contained files. It's designed for anyone who needs to document web sessions, create tutorials, or preserve web interactions in a portable format. The tool distinguishes itself by avoiding video files entirely, instead using code to recreate and replay the recorded experience.

    It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow.
