- CapRT @richiemcilroy: Working on the next launch video for Cap 0.6.2 This release is going to be a banger. A few heavily requested features and even more performance improvements. I wonder if we can keep knocking out back to back releases like this now, every single week?Cap @capCap v0.6.1 is here. Our engine was always Rust. Now the UI is too, rebuilt on GPUI with no web view. It's much faster. Memory: 3.7 GB → 440 MB CPU: 77% → 18% Exports: up to 5x faster 180+ fixes and improvements from 41 contributors.030134

- CapRT @web3_theo: 3 for 3 on @cap PRs ✅ Faster video imports. A missing-frame bug fixed. Thumbnails up to 4.3x faster with byte-identical output. Every one shipped with benchmarks and tests. More coming, i'm gonna need a Sponsor @capWEB3Theo @web3_theoAnother PR merged into @cap , this is the third merge🥳 On Windows and Linux, Cap’s recording picker shrinks a screenshot of every screen into a thumbnail. On a 4K screen that took 124ms. Now it takes 29ms. Up to 4.3x faster, and the output is identical down to the byte.020128
- CapRT @the_best_codes: @Cap is really amazing. It's open-source, which is cool. It also just WORKS, which is especially nice on Linux where so many of the alternatives I tried are trash.010114
