Show HN: I Made Loom for Mobile(demoscope.app)

An app to make demo vids

Of course I have a demo vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_fq0TzlsXI

This will be my last post to HN about this. I always like to try a few titles to see if any hit.

This is what I assumed and starting with the comments was very confusing.

So all it took was 10 posts over 17 days to get to first page. Nice app btw.

Thanks, I hate that the winning title is “Loom for Mobile” but I get it

Maybe it will help SEO if people get stuck and search Loom Mobile

Very cool! I do this today by connecting my phone to my laptop and recording via Loom. It's a bit janky for sure and the video is off because I looking down at my phone and not the webcam [1].

Does Loom really not offer this capability as an iOS app? I never checked but that's crazy if they don't. Regardless, I think this solves a problem for sure! Congrats on building and launching.

There are tons of iOS screen recorders that record either the camera, or the screen, but none do both.

I also had a janky solution, which prompted me to build this
