Project mention: The fastest tool for measuring anything on your screen | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-06
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 experience that played out over the last few weeks lead me to a similar belief, somewhat. For rather uninteresting reasons I decided I wanted to create mp4 videos of an animation programmatically, from scratch.
The first solution suggested when googling around is to just create all the frames, save them to disk, and then let ffmpeg do its thing from there. I would have just gone with that for a one-off task, but it seems like a pretty bad solution if the video is long, or high res, or both. Plus, what I really wanted was to build something more "scalable/flexible".
Maybe I didn't know the right keywords to search for, but there really didn't seem to be many options for creating frames, piping them straight to an encoder, and writing just the final video file to disk. The only one I found that seemed like it could maybe do it the way I had in mind was VidGear[1] (Python). I had figured that with the popularity of streaming, and video in general on the web, there would be so much more tooling for these sorts of things.
I ended up digging way deeper into this than I had intended, and built myself something on top of Membrane[2] (Elixir)

You can DIY your own with a IC-based RGB/RGBW strip and a rPi or x86 PC + ESP microcontroller using software like Hyperion or HyperHDR, combined with WLED.
scrot. Great functionally with the added benefit of making you think of a ballsack when you use it!
