Show HN: Shroom – screen recording and sharing, your own Cloudflare, 10M setup
Some months I needed to record and share a single 30-minute demo, but in other months I only needed a few 2-minute quick videos. Paying $18/month didn't justify. So I had to build it myself. Shroom is a free, open source (MIT) screen recording and sharing app for Mac, hosted in your own Cloudflare account. Install with one line (or with your AI agent) and follow a guided setup for about 10 minutes, a few clicks (create a token, add a card to enable storage on Cloudflare). With Cloudflare's free

Version & cost evidence
Source votes: 2 votes (Nov 2, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication); previous same-scope observation: 2 (Nov 2, 2026 UTC). These observations do not establish demand growth. Recent records to compare: “Show HN: Open-world text adventure played through AI agents” (Show HN, Nov 5, 2026); “Show HN: Hand Your Markdown Tasks to Claude Code from a Kanban Board” (Show HN, Nov 5, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
