damnGruz · x · 2026-11-14
Openside launched as an open-source, self-hostable browser-based recording studio positioning itself against Riverside and Loom. Bring your own keys and it's free forever, or pay $8.99/month for fully managed hosting with zero setup; the launch includes a lifetime-access giveaway for 5 commenters.
Highlights:
- Local in-browser recording up to 4K, unaffected by poor connectivity, with chunked uploads, crash-safe recovery, and automatic re-upload after disconnects
- Multi-track, per-participant audio/video output, exportable as MP4, MP3, or WAV
- Built-in Loom-style screen recorder with screen+camera compositing, pause/resume, and codec fallback
- Per-recording share links with comments, manageable or revocable anytime
- MIT-licensed on GitHub
