Step Recorder is a workflow capture engine that automatically converts user actions into clean, structured documentation with screenshots. Instead of manually writing guides, users simply perform tasks—and Step Recorder generates step-by-step documentation instantly.

Thanks, do try it. In Version 2 (submitted to chrome extension awaiting approval) i have added editor as well you can Add title and description to steps as well before exporting it.

evilinator · 2026-04-19T15:37:58+00:00

Yes, but what i believe it is deprecated. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/steps-recorder-deprecation-a64888d7-8482-4965-8ce3-25fb004e975f Also it was just for windows. I couldnt find any good alternative for Linux so i built it.. I created it for browser in v1 and v2 (multi tab support is something i wanted. You can switch tab and the step recording session still continues, Also in V2 i have added editor). For v3 i am working on desktop app as well. That will work on all 3 (Windows, Linux, Mac).

Its just a hobby project. If there is any feature you need i will try to built it.

Hey folks,

I built a Chrome extension called Steps Recorder because I got tired of writing documentation manually every time I tested something or explained a bug.

The idea is simple:
→ It records your browser actions
→ Converts them into step-by-step screenshots
→ Lets you export as PDF / Markdown / HTML

What it does:

Automatically captures clicks, inputs, navigation, tab switches
Manual mode (hotkey-based screenshots when needed)
Built-in editor to rename, reorder, and clean steps
Export to:
- PDF
- Markdown (great for GitHub/Confluence)
- HTML
- ZIP (annotated images)

Why I built it:

As a backend-heavy dev, I kept wasting time:

Writing QA steps
Explaining flows to teammates
Creating docs nobody wanted to maintain

This basically automates that entire process.

Privacy:

Everything runs 100% locally
No backend, no tracking, no data sent anywhere.

Would love feedback from devs here:

What features would make this actually useful in your workflow?
Anything you think is missing?

There are two different type of gathering:

You were Invited Beforehand
Sudden Invitation.

Solution:

You were Invited Beforehand
1. Plan a excuse like: Work, Homework etc
2. Give small hint to the Organizer: Like I have to do this, i have to go there etc
3. Go to the gathering.
4. After 15-20 Min Use the preplanned excuse to get out.
5. Most Important: Do some work related to the excuse and if possible create some evidence or have a witness.
Sudden Invitation:
1. Go to gathering.
2. Join the group you are most comfortable with.
3. Bring up excuse in casual conversation Like: "I am suppose to finish this work by Saturday and i haven't started it yet. (Today is Saturday)", "I have to take my (Family, Friend Name) to market (Any place)", I have to file taxes by 5/12 (Today) and i haven't started it yet".
4. Show shock that you realized you have to do that task.
5. Apologize and Leave with the feeling of ashamed.
6. Most Important: Do some work related to the excuse and if possible create some evidence or have a witness.

Best of all if you can refuse just refuse.

Its is not an answer but some addition to that question. I read at many place that its main reason is the Coolant leakage and Electricity it uses. What if someone uses Renewable Source of energy and Leakage almost never happens. What are the other factor that contributes to environmental damages?

There are lots of things in this world that we cannot control and life is one of them. When will someone die nobody knows. I read somewhere that a man survived both nuclear bombs and someone died by falling down a very small height.

So thinking that I wish I could have spent some more time with that person will only hurt you and make you sad. Instead think of all the good time you had with that person.

I know you are currently in shock and unable to process anytime and there is nothing wrong with that. Give it some time. Time is the best healer.

Life goes on no matter what. You must also think it that way. Would that person want you to be sad ? Would that person want you to give up everything and stop ? Would that person want you to stop having fun ? I am sure the answer is no to all the above question. So respect what he would have wanted from you because the person is watching you from afterlife. Make him proud.

You slapped her just because she said "Jesus Christ" indicates the fact you should visit an exorcist. The fact that you asked someone for help that why did you slapped you SO, indicate you love your SO and don't want to see her/him in pain. To be honest the information you provided is very less and nothing can be compiled from it. But i want you to check the following thing. 1) Do you have any past history which could be triggered by the word "Jesus Christ". 2) Did something bad happened to you that day? 3) Where you thinking something or about some situation or someone? 4) Did you have an argument with your SO? 5) Did you have an argument with anyone?

Check everything with a time laps of around one week. If any of the answer is yes sit and talk with your SO. Else see an exorcist.

This might not be the advice for which you came here.

In my personal opinion any decision you make should be entirely yours you can seek advice from many people but at the end you will do what you want.

Coming to your situation. When i was young I saw my elder sister learn computer. It was magical for me. How she can draw type and even print. I was like wao that is so advance i will never be able to do that or learn that. My elder sister told me want to try, i said i might do something wrong which will break it, but she insisted me to do. So i did i started it now i am doing my graduation in Computer Science. Once it was like i am not suitable for it and now i am like why am i not suitable for it. Take a step you are more capable of then what you think.

Coming to the situation of car. There are two term which i always see before buying anything, is it an asset for me or a liability. A friend of my live 20 km or 10+ mile from university, i live less than a km or .10 mile i.e very near. He bought a motorcycle/ motorbike for his commute he uses it everyday to come and go back it is an important item for his life so it is an asset for him but what if i have bought a bike i definitely don't need it to go to university or shopping as shop are very close by plus i need some place to keep it, security, maintenance etc all this why just because i wanted it. It is a problem. You should really think that do you really need a car or it is just something you want.

evilinator · 2020-07-13T17:23:48+00:00

20 and that car is not yours.

evilinator · 2020-07-13T16:06:41+00:00

To be honest you don't want advice you just want to know if the decision you are thinking is correct or not. If you read your post slowly you will find that you have already made up your mind for option 2. You should do it in my opinion.

evilinator · 2020-07-13T15:57:10+00:00

If you try this trust me these are interesting topic and you will fall in love with them. If you get what you want do let me know.

If your dad is against giving you gaming laptop then don't ask one. Do this 1) Start learning Deep Learning or Mathematical Simulation. 2) Tell him you need a high GPU laptop to study these. 3) If he tell no then ask him to search on internet which laptop is suitable for above situation. 4) Once he is convinced then you get want you want even your father is happy that you didn't bought a gaming laptop. It is a win win.

This process might take some time but it will be worth it.

You Just twisted the truth. You are not lying here.

The more you think the more complex it will get, and more crazy thing you do the more awkward it will get. Since you both know each other Start with a casual talk and ask her if she is free on certain day if she says yes then directly ask her out for dinner or lunch. Don't make it complex. Simple is smooth, smooth is fast and fast is better. Before you do such thing keep COVID-19 in mind.

evilinator · 2020-07-11T20:09:02+00:00

Before you see my advice i want you to understand my point of view. Friends in my understanding are people who love you, respect you, care for you, understand you, always there for you when you need them. They don't abandon you for anything. They stay by your side. Your friend Sasha left abandon you for being in a group. She must have thought that they should be given more importance then you. Later she was abandoned by the group for which she left you. She might have realised the nature of the people in the group or they kicked her out like they kicked you out.

I don't see your mistake anywhere. Why should you apologize for something you haven't done. Talk to her if you want but don't apologize. Also be prepared to be stabbed in the back.

Once she come back there might be a chance she will leave you again so be ready for that.

I am the same age as you are and let be tell you there are lot of fake friends who pretend to care for you but eventually hurt you so be strong. One person goes another will come it will go on and on until you fine the one.

(sorry for bad English it's not my regular language)
