- CapRT @theaaron: pro tip for my fellow @cap users: you can set a default file to save your recordings and point your coding agent at it to grab the raw files if you don't want to edit the video in-app big fan of what @richiemcilroy is building, and best screen recorder i've used 🫡010109
- Cap now runs transcription for shareable links on our own GPU farm. The results so far have been incredible. Under 1 min: 3.7s → 0.3s 1-5 min: 5.3s → 0.8s 5-15 min: 6.9s → 1.4s 1 hour: 18s → 11.5s Up to 11x faster, across 25 different languages 🫡

- Instant recordings in Cap now process up to 17x faster. Under 1 min: 10s → 3.5s 1-5 min: 32s → 5s 5-15 min: 72s → 7s 15+ min: 5 min → 18s We now run our own GPU farm, and Cap does most of the work while you're still recording 🫡

- 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

- Since posting this, we’ve merged 452 PRs. We’ve now sponsored 18 people through GitHub, with $1,275 paid out in total 🫡 The offer still stands... make Cap’s GPUI desktop app faster, show it with benchmarks, and we’ll sponsor you!
Cap @capProposition: you create a PR in Cap’s repo with a performance improvement. Can be for the recording engine, export engine, playback, whatever. It should be a demonstrable performance increase with benchmarks. Specifically for the GPUI app. In return, we’ll sponsor your GitHub 🫡1651063.7K - Proposition: you create a PR in Cap’s repo with a performance improvement.

- Yesterday we shipped Cap v0.6.1. A full migration from Tauri to GPUI. Here's a full technical deep dive into how we did it 👇

- 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
- 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 @aiwithaj_: 11 PRs merged into @cap so far, so obviously I (cough my friend opus 5.5 cough) made a video about it instead of touching grass The cursor recorder was hashing the exact same cursor image every single tick, even when nothing changed. Basically checking your pocket for your keys over and over while they're in your hand. With a big cursor that was 5,204µs a tick, now it's 538µs Finding your mic for the recording hotkey took 280ms. Now it's 0.32ms The mic meter was waking up the main thread 93.8 times a second. Now it's 7.2, and 0 when you're silent - which is more than anyone can say about me Timeline repaints with 120 clips went from 2,178µs to 96µs And one of them just fixes the lint that turned main's CI red. Massive cheers to @richiemcilroy for reviewing and merging all of these 🫡 (I forgot to specify that I wanted a 16:9 video not 9:16 - I need to save the extra tokens for more PRs)010126
