Congrats on making a small, useful, working tool! I like the minimalism.

Maybe you should mention on your GitHub page that it is for Windows.

Adding it to the Post title would be great as well.

In the README: "Windows 10 or newer"

Yes but it's buried down in the `Build` instructions. It should be in the About section: "A simple recording program for Windows with the ability to record screens and audio on your computer." (emphasis mine)

Yikes! win 10 or newer? Win 10 has screen record, with or without audio, built in.

I'm always looking for quick simple browser based things to suggest to friends, and if there is anything cheaper than corel videostudio (when it's on sale) - for win 8, win 7 - which is my preferred tool for the past so many years.

I do suggest putting win 10 only prominently.

To build it, yes. It never mentions it is for running on Windows.

I think that part is assumed as Gnome/Linux and MacOSX have it built in?

Windows 10 has it built-in too, try Win+Alt+R.

What is the built in utility you're using on Linux for this? AFAIK, you need to download a separate utility for recording screens on Linux, or it comes with your desktop environment.

MacOS does have this ability via QuickTime, but I wish I could find something that records my screen + audio output. There is are some hacky ways to do this on MacOS, but I haven't found anything super reliable yet. Though, I believe this is more or less intentional by Apple.

I'm not sure Gnome desktop has one built in, but i'm sure most other desktop environments don't.
