Mentions

The recording done by Warcraft Recorder is made possible by packaging up OBS. We wouldn't stand a chance at providing something useful without it. Big thanks to the OBS developers.

This application is also heavily reliant on OBS Studio Node to provide bindings to libOBS. Special mention for the folks over at Streamlabs for open-sourcing the project.

The app is built with Electron and React, using the boilerplate provided by the ERB project.
