Record your WebM video, for example with the built-in GNOME Screen Recorder on Linux\n2. Go to https://jtp.io/webm2XTwitter/\n3. Drop your `.webm` video\n4. Click on `Convert`\n5. Click on `Download` when ready to download the converted video\n\n## Motivation\n\nThere are several motivations for this project:\n\n- X / Twitter does not support .webm files\n- The tool I was using before (Peek) does not support Wayland (the default on recent Linux distributions). And it is also not maintained anymore (https://github.com/phw/peek/issues/1191)\n- The default Gnome screen recorder tool works on Wayland, but it does not support exporting to anything else other than .webm\n\nThis small projects tries to address the gap of recording a screencast on Wayland in .webm, and be able to post it as a video on X / Twitter.\n\nIt's possible to achieve the same by just running `ffmpeg` manually locally in a terminal. But this is tedious and the command should be saved somewhere. Now that `ffmpeg` can run in the browser via WebAssembly, this small app should make it more convenient to handle this process in a browser directly in a more user-friendly way.\n\n\n## Contributing\n\nPlease feel free to contribute! For now the app is pretty barebone and was quickly put together to fullfill the motivation described above.\n\n### Development setup\n\n```bash\n# install dependencies\nnpm i\n\n# download the ffmpeg assets\nnpm run download\n\n# run the Tailwind watch script\nnpm run watch:css\n\n# start the server\nnpm run start\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjtpio%2Fwebm2xtwitter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjtpio%2Fwebm2xtwitter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjtpio%2Fwebm2xtwitter/lists"}
