Post Description

Hey everyone,

I often needed to create demo videos for my products, but editing took more time than building the feature itself

So I built a Chrome extension called ZoomFlow. It lets you:

• Record your screen • Auto-follow cursor movement • Add smooth zoom effects • Export directly (no editing required)

The goal was simple: record → review → export.

It has a free version, and I recently launched v1.0.1 with improvements to zoom smoothness and cursor flow.

Would love feedback from people who create tutorials, SaaS demos, or client walkthroughs.
