Fourteen merged pull requests to Cap
Cap makes screen recordings you can share, and it's open source. Between 10 and 21 October 2026 the team merged fourteen of my pull requests: fixes for recordings on exFAT drives, a picker that could hang forever and the teleprompter losing its place, plus performance work on the recording bar, the mic meter and the cursor recorder.
