| I built Screenix because I was tired of fighting OBS every time I needed to record a tutorial. Mac had Screen Studio, Windows had FocuSee but Linux had nothing. Started with a simple idea: screen recorder with smooth zoom effects that follow your cursor. No post-processing needed. The weird part: I hadn't announced it publicly yet. Someone found the landing page, tried it, and paid for it before I even launched. That was the validation moment. After launch, the feedback loop was clear: people recorded with Screenix, then immediately exported to DaVinci/Premiere to tweak zoom timing and add overlays. So I built a full video editor into the app. Current state: - 2 sales (both organic, no paid marketing) - 7-day free trial (no credit card required) - One-time payment or subscription options - Full editor with smooth zoom scrubbing, floating screens, timeline control Technical challenges: Wayland cursor position tracking is genuinely hard. The protocol restricts direct cursor access for security reasons, so I had to implement a cursor tracking extension to track it. It works on Ubuntu but I'm still debugging Fedora integration. Built with Rust + custom editor engine. Wayland support took longer than the entire recorder. Linux needs quality native tools. screenix.studio |
