@heleana unfortunately, it only works on windows for now. Adding support for Mac/Linux is a future goal 🥅 (once I get my hand on one)!
Congrats on the launch! Little typo on the landing page “lapto” —> “laptop”
Looking forward to trying this out. Might replace KeyLimePie
Let me tell this to you that, Assuming that you copied, It doesn't matter. Because you didn't take their code and built it from scratch.
It's a free market, FB took stories feature and now twitter etc. are taking it from snapchat.
Google will kill your startup sooner or later, and it's perfectly legal of what you did.
That's why builders and makers need to focus on marketing to get ahead and not just build and sit idle.
The site is neat, wish you have had a mac app too, rahul. Congrats on the launch!
@superminnu thanks for your words 😁. Though I'm not marketing this, still I'll remove the similarities.
As for the mac support, I'll try to add that in the future.
Love the app. Ignore the dude who got butthurt. If this is plagiarism then what would you call it when apple, google or facebook does it? Then it becomes just another 'Feature'. Also, if your idea can be stolen this easily, focus on building your moat rather than complaining about it.. you get the point. Also, this is for windows. I'm assuming he didn't steal your code.
Hello 👋 Hunters and Makers!
I'm Rahul Mula, and sometimes I create online courses on programming. Creating video lessons for programming courses often requires recording your screen. And mainly I press handy-dandy keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl + T) to perform different actions. It's good and all but the viewer gets dumbfounded 😵, as they cannot see my keyboard.
Any content creator can relate to the same, i.e. displaying keystrokes during how-to videos, tutorials, presentations, or screencasts 🖥️. I used to add the keystrokes during video editing manually. Navigating to specific timestamp, adding the keypress-related text/image, handling the in and out animation (because animations are a must for engagement 👀), and repeating the same through the video.
Now one can clearly say this is not efficient, at least a programmer (me) will. So the obvious step was to search for a solution online. I did find some softwares that displays keystrokes on the screen but they were just ...old school (personal opinion). So I thought to myself - "Why don't I create one myself?".
So I took the bandana 🪢, wrapped it over my head (...not really), and started working on the development. After 6 weeks, I finished the development and published the first release of Keyviz on Github. That was the story behind the development of keyviz and thanks for reading through all this!
Great tool! Will for sure follow your journey, @rahul_mula - Will be awaiting a Mac version too.
