I would say the main difference is that vasai is focused on quickly sharing progress in a beautiful view. While loom is a more general-purpose tool made for educators.

Here are other differences I have found.

- loom requires signup/sign in, vasai doesn't

- from first install, loom can be cumbersome to set up your preferences. vasai works out of the box, with 2 clicks to start recording your screen

- loom has a long questionnaire to get the extension (from their website). vasai lets you download the extension straight away

- vasais defaults are better (e.g. no countdown on record)

- loom's playback page is not as elegant as vasai's (vasai removes black borders if the video has any)

- the response time to open the extension is faster compared to loom

Thank you!

I get what you mean. I think I would feel the same way. The landing page video has now been updated with a more professional look :)

Good suggestion. Website updated with a new video now.

Sadly not! Only your current tab at the moment.

Yes, only screen recording on websites currently. I should probably make this more clear on the website, maybe with a list of features. Its because I wanted to quickly share what I had made on a current tab, instead of fiddling around trying to find the tab/app.

You are right about the "for developers" comment. I have updated the website to now show "for web developers".

One favorable way would be to use the Unix Philosophy[0] to create a new product, rather than a complete re-design.
