Profiles & Follows
Every user has a public profile at /community/profile/@handle showing their posts, replies, and templates. Follow other creators to stay updated with their work.
Stories
Share an ephemeral 24-hour photo or screen-recorded video at the top of /community. Stories are capped at 60 seconds, ship with rich editing tools, and disappear automatically after a day.
Photo or screen-recorded video
Capture a single screenshot or record up to 60 seconds of any screen / window / tab. Mic capture is optional.
Recording your screen
After picking a screen we count down 3 → 2 → 1, then hide the modal and show a small floating timer in the bottom-right corner so the recording doesn't end up containing the dialog itself. Hit Stop on the pill (or wait for the 60s cap) to return to the editor.
Stickers, text & GIFs
Drop emoji, drag in Giphy stickers/GIFs, or add styled text with five preset looks (Classic, Neon, Modern, Serif, Glitter), font + color picker, and inline edit. Drag, resize (scroll wheel), rotate, duplicate, or layer items via the floating toolbar.
Portrait, Landscape, or Square
An aspect-ratio toggle lets desktop screen recordings render in 16:9 instead of being letterboxed into 9:16. Auto picks the best fit based on your capture.
