It's a video messaging tool that allows you to record, edit and share videos in seconds.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CapSoftware/Cap/refs/heads/main/apps/web/public/landing-cover.png\"/\u003e\n\n# Self Hosting\n\nCap Web is available to self-host using Docker or Railway, see our [self-hosting docs](https://cap.so/docs/self-hosting) to learn more.\nYou can also use the button below to deploy Cap Web to Railway:\n\n[![Deploy on Railway](https://railway.com/button.svg)](https://railway.com/new/template/PwpGcf)\n\nCap Desktop can connect to your self-hosted Cap Web instance regardless of if you build it yourself or [download from our website](https://cap.so/download).\n\n# Monorepo App Architecture\n\nWe use a combination of Rust, React (Next.js), TypeScript, Tauri, Drizzle (ORM), MySQL, TailwindCSS throughout this Turborepo powered monorepo.\n\n\u003e A note about database: The codebase is currently designed to work with MySQL only. MariaDB or other compatible databases might partially work but are not officially supported.\n\n### Apps:\n\n- `desktop`: A [Tauri](https://tauri.app) (Rust) app, using [SolidStart](https://start.solidjs.com) on the frontend.\n- `web`: A [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) web app.\n\n### Packages:\n\n- `ui`: A [React](https://reactjs.org) Shared component library.\n- `utils`: A [React](https://reactjs.org) Shared utility library.\n- `tsconfig`: Shared `tsconfig` configurations used throughout the monorepo.\n- `database`: A [React](https://reactjs.org) and [Drizzle ORM](https://orm.drizzle.team/) Shared database library.\n- `config`: `eslint` configurations (includes `eslint-config-next`, `eslint-config-prettier` other configs used throughout the monorepo).\n\n### License:\nPortions of this software are licensed as follows:\n\n- All code residing in the `cap-camera*` and `scap-*` families of crates is licensed under the MIT License (see [licenses/LICENSE-MIT](https://github.com/CapSoftware/Cap/blob/main/licenses/LICENSE-MIT)).\n- All third party components are licensed under the original license provided by the owner of the applicable component\n- All other content not mentioned above is available under the AGPLv3 license as defined in [LICENSE](https://github.com/CapSoftware/Cap/blob/main/LICENSE)\n  \n# Contributing\n\nSee [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information. This guide is a work in progress, and is updated regularly as the app matures.\n\n## Analytics (Tinybird)\n\nCap uses [Tinybird](https://www.tinybird.co) to ingest viewer telemetry for dashboards. The Tinybird admin token (`TINYBIRD_ADMIN_TOKEN` or `TINYBIRD_TOKEN`) must be available in your environment. Once the token is present you can:\n\n- Provision the required data sources and materialized views via `pnpm analytics:setup`. This command installs the Tinybird CLI (if needed), runs `tb login` when a `.tinyb` credential file is missing, copies that credential into `scripts/analytics/tinybird`, and finally executes `tb deploy --allow-destructive-operations --wait` from that directory. **It synchronizes the Tinybird workspace to the resources defined in `scripts/analytics/tinybird`, removing any other datasources/pipes in that workspace.**\n- Validate that the schema and materialized views match what the app expects via `pnpm analytics:check`.\n\nBoth commands target the workspace pointed to by `TINYBIRD_HOST` (defaults to `https://api.tinybird.co`). Make sure you are comfortable with the destructive nature of the deploy step before running `analytics:setup`.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcapsoftware%2Fcap","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcapsoftware%2Fcap","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcapsoftware%2Fcap/lists"}
