Recall – Record Demos from the Browser

Everything runs client-side and the UI gives you real control — pick MP4 or WebM, toggle 720/1080/4K, pick gradients, and resize the camera overlay. It's not reinventing the wheel (Loom/OBS already exist), but the minimal, no-install flow plus thoughtful controls (format/quality toggles, mic and camera sizing) make it genuinely handy for quick recordings. Would be way more compelling with basic trimming or one-click cloud upload.
