I'm working on Spacecap: https://github.com/mgerb/spacecap

It's a screen recording tool for Linux. The goal is to make it as fast and efficient as possible, while also being simple to use and install. It's just a hobby project that I am having fun working on. Here are some notable things about it:

- Written in Zig

- Uses Vulkan Video for encoding

- UI built with SDL3 and imgui

- Features recording, replay buffer, and screenshots

Biggest advice for exposure is to try to get it packaged on Debian. Annoying but worth it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I plan to explore things like this as it stabilizes and becomes more feature complete.
