Show HN: OpenLoom, a Loom alternative, with your own Supabase(openloom.live)

OpenLoom is a Chrome extension that records your screen using the browser's native Screen Capture and MediaRecorder APIs, composites a camera PIP overlay on a canvas, and uploads directly to your own Supabase project. No middleman server, no subscription, no vendor lock-in. The web player at openloom.live is a static site on GitHub Pages that fetches videos straight from your backend, it doesn't store or log anything. The entire thing is open source (extension, web viewer, provisioning flow), so you can audit every network request. Your recordings, your storage bucket, your rules. Do check it out and share your feedback!

Nice approach, using Supabase as the storage backend means users own their data completely. The no-middleman architecture is exactly what privacy-conscious users want. How's the recording quality compared to Loom? And do you handle variable bitrate or let the browser's MediaRecorder decide? Curious about the PIP overlay performance too - canvas compositing can get heavy during long recordings.
