what AI can build

Record screen/webcam, combine tracks, trim, render, upload, and generate a clean share page.

For solo async clips, a recorder plus lightweight trimming and hosted share page can be vibecoded; the paid app wins on design polish and templates.

the prompt

Catalog estimate
Build me a screen recorder with share pages to replace Tella. Requirements:

- A local web page (Node + Express on localhost:4600) using getDisplayMedia +
  getUserMedia: record screen and webcam together, webcam as a circular overlay in
  the bottom-left, captured with MediaRecorder to webm.
- After recording, a trim step: set in/out points on a simple timeline, preview,
  then render the final 1080p H.264 MP4 with ffmpeg.
- One-click publish: rsync the MP4 to my VPS, where a tiny share app serves
  /v/<id>, a page with the player, title, and my name. Copy the URL to my clipboard.
- Share page extras: a poster frame extracted with ffmpeg for the og:image tag, and
  a view counter in SQLite. Nothing else on the page.
- Keep originals and renders in ~/Recordings/YYYY-MM-DD-<title>/.
- No accounts, no telemetry; the share pages are the only public surface.
- Out of scope: layout templates, zoom/pan effects, and a team library. Trim only,
  this is not an editor.
- README: browser screen-capture permissions, ffmpeg install, VPS + Caddy snippet
  for the share domain.

questions

Can AI replace Tella?

Likely for the core workflow, based on an editorial catalog judgment. This entry is not a verified build yet; use the prompt as a starting point and validate the result against your own acceptance criteria.

How much does Tella cost?

Tella is listed at about $13/month (Pro, checked 2026-07-30), or $156 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

What do I lose by replacing Tella?

Honestly: beautiful layouts; browser extension/native polish; templates; team sharing; reliable video hosting. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Tella?

Yes — OBS Studio (Can cover the recording layer; a vibecoded clone would add opinionated hosting and layouts). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
