People may well use Loom-like functionality that’s integrated into other tools they use without knowing the name “Loom”.

Loom had a head-start, but other companies (e.g. Vimeo) copied the feature pretty quickly.

And also, more importantly, this is a “Show HN” post, so reasonable for people here to question the comparison.

Loom in the title got my attention. It is the only reason I clicked on the link.

It is unfortunate this is being discussed rather than the product.

+1 same. If this was a generic screen recording software I’d have skipped it.

Same here. However I was very disappointed because it was nothing like what I was expecting from the name.
