Magnificent! Creates very small (compressed) gif files without losing quality. Can create super-high-quality mp4 files (tried a 1080p resolution for 10 min -- works great)!

simple, free and lots of settings (incl input audio)

Software we love even though it's made with Electron

Electron is a framework for developing cross-platform desktop applications with web technologies (JavaScript, HTML and CSS), essentially packaging web apps into native desktop apps that look and behave consistently across operating systems. The infrastructure (back-end) is coded in Node.js, and the interface (front-end) is built on Chromium tools, the open source part of Google Chrome. It was developed by GitHub in 2013 and was originally named Atom Shell in reference to the Atom editor from whom it originated. The framework has gained significant traction in a relatively short period of time, but it also has some weaknesses: Some Electron apps are slower compared to their native counterparts. Additionally, some have reported absurd CPU usage with Electron apps. Huge file size is also a common problem, but this does not mean all Electron apps have the same problems. So, in defense of Electron, here's a list of ten Electron-based software that don’t suck.
