The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Zight, capture screen, GIF, or screenshot and create a shareable hosted link. The hard boundary is cloud storage, link management, viewer analytics, integrations, and team libraries, plus capture polish, hosting, and collaboration.

Build a lightning-fast, highly polished personal replacement for Zight (formerly CloudApp) in an empty repository. Use exactly this stack: Tauri 2, React, TypeScript, ffmpeg, and SQLite; do not offer alternative stacks. Primary Objective: Create a seamless desktop application for visual communication that captures screen recordings, GIFs, and high-quality screenshots, provides robust annotation tools, and allows for instant local saving or generation of a shareable hosted link (via a user-provided S3/R2 bucket, not a proprietary cloud). Detailed Feature Requirements: 1. Versatile Screen & Video Recording: Implement robust capture modes including full screen, specific window, and custom region selection. Support simultaneous webcam overlay (picture-in-picture) and optional microphone audio. Ensure 4K recording capabilities using optimized `ffmpeg` presets (H.264/WebM). 2. Instant GIF Maker: Provide a one-click toggle to convert short screen recordings directly into lightweight, optimized GIFs for easy sharing in chat applications. 3. Advanced Annotation Studio: Build an intuitive built-in editor that opens immediately after a screenshot or video capture. Include tools for drawing arrows, adding text, shapes, highlighters, and a crucial blur tool to quickly obscure sensitive information (passwords, PII). 4. AI-Ready Summarization (Optional hook): Generate a smart poster frame for videos. Provide a local hook or simple API integration point where a user could plug in a local transcription model (like Whisper) to generate "Smart Chapters" or a Markdown summary of the video. 5. Bring-Your-Own-Cloud Sharing: Instead of mandatory proprietary cloud upload, allow the user to configure their own S3-compatible storage (AWS, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze) in the `.env` file. Upon capture, optionally auto-upload and instantly copy a shareable public URL to the clipboard. 6. Local Library & Quick Actions: Maintain a searchable, visually appealing gallery of all past captures in SQLite. Provide instant "copy file path", "reveal in folder", and "drag-and-drop to other apps" functionality. Strict Constraints: - Make the first run work locally with one documented command. - Store all user data locally by default. Never commit credentials. - Show an always-visible recording timer and allow stopping from the system tray. - Deliberately leave out: public proprietary cloud hosting, viewer identity/engagement analytics, enterprise workspaces, and SSO. - Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. - Handle unavailable external APIs gracefully (fallback to local-only mode). - Write focused tests for the core video transformation and one end-to-end happy path. - Create a comprehensive README with setup, permissions, architecture, and backup instructions. - Finish by running tests and fixing any errors.
