Building a screen recording app for your calls

Upd:
– Added download in popular format MP4
– Updated the player
– Updated visuals, bringing the entire UI to dark theme
– Fixed bugs, now you can confidently record long videos of an hour or more (well, hope and are testing)

Month 1 of building my screen recording app

❌ Users don't understand how the product works
❌ Can't stop recordings
❌ Don't know how to download videos
❌ UX complete failure

Rewrote 80% of the code...

Lesson: sometimes better to spend more time on MVP than spend months fixing later

#buildinpublic

Shipped my second product Video Recorder

Motivation? It was my own personal need. At my 9-5 job I constantly needed to record screens (calls, user research). Existing solutions were clunky or unstable

✅ Built the MVP in a month
#buildinpublic #buildinginpublic #indiedev #developer #webdevelopment

One founder. Full bootstrap. From idea to launch in 1 month. Let’s go!

My strategy: launch many products vs developing one for years

Not every product will find its audience—some ideas won’t be as valuable. But a few will find their market and users

One product fails? No problem. There’s always the next launch

Focus on micro-products:
✅ fast development
✅ fast launch
✅ fast profit

My strategy: Build something simple, make a stack of cash and only then think about doing something big 💀

How to launch a startup solo?

Easy! Do development, design, marketing, testing, and support all by yourself! And try not to burn out (if possible) 🫠

I don't chase markets with zero demand or no growth, straight dead end

Way smarter to jump into super competitive spots 🚀

A year ago I accidentally chose an idea for my first launch: text to speech for websites.

Did some research and saw demand. There are people who really need this.

Quickly launched the first version in a month and published it to the store 🎉

Jan 2024: I realized I wanted to build something of my own. I craved freedom from the 9–5.

Jan 2025: 9–5 exit.
No guarantees. No stability. No team.

Well… I did have some kind of plan — and I stuck to it 😄
