I wondered, Browsers work really well, are already there anyways, have all the GPU stuff etc already dealt with.
It could use the Browsers screencast ability on all platforms, and run with Javascript and WASM.
The stuff could be installed in a local Podman container and thus also work natively on Linux.
Do you know an app that does this, client-side?
I didnt understand that statement though.
A browser is simply the bottom line. Its the stuff I always open up. It is always in RAM.
Firefox has more stable screencast capabilities than many recorders.
Feature creep is a hallmark of “software bloat”. Using a web browser to do something completely unrelated to it’s core functionality is pretty much the definition of “bloat”.
Obs is purpose-built to do the thing you want to do. That it also has features you don’t want does not make it “bloated”.
