Snapify works with any S3 compatible api. You could self-host min.io and use that.

That is not something I have planned yet. But feel free to create a feature request: https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify/issues/new

I think you mention a great point "eventually move away from it with growth".

I lose out on potential optimizations, but benefit in speed and simplicity

The same argument goes for rust vs typescript explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z4fZtSKlcE

What do you recommend?

Do you have plans to give snapify the ability to federate and share with others?

Could you explain what you mean by "federate and share with others"?

I am providing docker containers, although they are hosted on Github: https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify/pkgs/container/snapify

You can deploy snapify as a docker container using this command: docker run -d --name snapify-web -e DATABASE_URL="" -e NEXTAUTH_SECRET="REPLACESTRING" -e NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000/" -e GITHUB_ID="" -e GITHUB_SECRET="" -e AWS_ENDPOINT="" -e AWS_REGION="" -e AWS_KEY_ID="" -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="" -e AWS_BUCKET_NAME="" -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/marconlp/snapify:latest

Hey there! I built an open-source tool called Snapify, which is designed to make screen recording sharing a breeze, just like Loom, but with the added benefit of being completely open-source.

Let's say you quickly want to get a message across, there are three main ways:

  1. Get into a meeting
  2. Write a wall of text
  3. Share a quick recording

Recordings will look like this (new link): https://snapify.it/share/clk3mpgnu0003mj0f042964wg

I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas on how I may be able to improve the app. Is anyone here using Loom?
