RetroClip – Instant Replay for Your Mac

In plain words

From the sources

We have a new app out on the Mac App Store. It's called RetroClip, and it makes taking instant replay video captures of your Mac's screen as easy as taking a screenshot. There is a browser based demo you can try if you're on a Mac or a PC (and you really should try it because it's super cool). I got the idea to write RetroClip after playing the game Fortnite Battle Royale and winning, and then having nothing to show for it besides a static screenshot. 1 Current generation video game consoles all have a feature where you can press a button and capture the last minute or so of gameplay and I wanted this for my Mac. The key idea is that you don't know when you want to save a video clip until…from realartists.com

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
