Really cool idea, but I'm very careful with installing non-OSS stuff on my computer that records my webcam 24/7. If this was OSS, I'd probably use it.

Thanks for the feedback. I totally respect the sentiment when it comes to privacy. The repo is now public available under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0. https://github.com/pranaycv/EyeRhythm

It's still not OSS, but the repo is now public to verify what webcam does and also possibly contribute and give suggestions so that it can be improved for better cause. Hope that helps.

Hey, PolyForm! That's my first time seeing it in the wild. I love Kyle Mitchell's work on contracts.

Glad you spotted it. PolyForm seemed to me like a good fit for what I wanted to.
