Really cool project — the "no backend, no build step" constraint is genuinely hard to pull off well and you did it.

Couple things I'm curious about:

How does performance hold up when you're layering multiple capture sources simultaneously? That's usually where browser-based tools start to sweat.

Also — the "hackable rather than polished" framing is smart positioning. Are you thinking about specific use cases you want people to fork this toward? Because the talking-head + annotation combo immediately makes me think async demo videos for indie devs who can't afford Loom Pro, or lightweight sales prospecting tools. Would be interesting to see what the community actually builds with it.

One suggestion: a short screen recording (meta, I know) showing the layering and annotation in action would probably cut your "time to wow" significantly. The README explains it well but seeing the canvas manipulation live would land faster.

Nice work on this.
