The full story

rec-rs is a fast macOS screen and camera recorder written in Rust as a simpler alternative to OBS for making YouTube videos, studied clean-room from OBS Studio. It records screen, system audio, microphone and webcam into one file that opens in QuickTime, Final Cut, Premiere and Resolve. It can keep a replay buffer and stream to several destinations at once, using only Apple's own frameworks.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
