  • I'm looking for a tool that could mimic Code Typing but do it smoothly. I need it for recording tutorials but I don't want to record myself typing the code as that is not always smooth and is time consuming.

    Something like TypeIt[0] but with Code Highlighting.

    This is what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/U4ogK0MIzqk?t=9

  • self-driving-desktop

    Desktop Automation Framework. Drive your mouse and keyboard with an easy to use language.

  • There is https://github.com/hofstadter-io/self-driving-desktop that enables you to "drive" the mouse and keyboard across applications. I originally built this for automating recordings. It even has a recording feature itself, so you can go through the demo by hand and then cleanup the steps afterwards.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
