A few of weeks ago I went to the small island Rögrund in the swedish archipelago to hack and relax with a couple of friends.Together with Eric and Alex I've started to hack on the RecButton.com, which we were finally able to finish and release last week.
So here we go:
It is a very simple website which just shows a button to record audio and once you've done that you are able to rehear what you've recorded and push it to SoundCloud to share and distribute it.To capture the audio from your microphone it uses a new API from Adobe Flash 10.1, which allows you to buffer the raw recorded audio directly in the client instead of using a flash media server. I plan to release the flash recorder plus a small javascript wrapper for it as a seperate project. For now you'll find the undocumented and messy code in my github repository.
Happy Hacking!
