Show HN: Cap – open-source alternative to Loom
I thought it was Kap for a moment https://getkap.co/ similar name, similar product (but that one is ready to use).
Also a bit confused as it seems there is nothing there besides an idea and a landing page.

My Installed App as Developer
Kap is an app to record your screen. I use Kap primarily in my work to record some flow of a website. Kap produces small video sizes with good quality compared to other screen recording apps.

App LIST!!!
That's cap (did I do it? Am I cool?)... Kap is a free open-source screen recorder built with web technology, click the menu bar icon to bring up the screen recorder. After selecting what portion of the screen you'd like to record, hit the record button to start recording. Click the menu bar icon again to stop the recording. There is also user-made plugins, really good app in my opinion.

Marketing for Developers
Some people learn better visually and some libraries greatly benefit from being shown. Animated gifs or short mov files can be especially useful for simple interactions. I use Kap (free) to create these simpler screenshares.

Good free alternative is MonitorControl. Pretty sure it does everything Lunar does but is open-sourced.

Which apps do you install first on any new Mac?
MonitorControl- use the native DDC/CI of external monitors to control their brightness and contrast and volume through the menu bar rather than the physical monitor controls

A long list of problems with MacOS (and their potential solutions)
Solution: Monitor Control.

TIL there are apps that can control your monitor without touching the buttons on it
MonitorControl (simple manual controls, doesn't yet work on M2 Macs though)
The best apps on macOS are BetterDisplay and Lunar by far in terms of features. MonitorControl is a strong offering as well, the gold standard in this field and is open source but it does not support recent M2 macs or any of the built-in HDMI ports of Macs since 2018 (note: BetterDisplay is the only macOS app that supports everything - Intel, M1, M2, USB-C, HDMI - even the HDMI port of the 2018 Mini).
