That looks very interesting, but typing several lines of text rather than speaking them is painful to sit through. I would suggest turning off the music next time and just tell people what it is and how it works.

Or skip the screencast altogether and just write step-by-step instructions.

At least mention what the default hotkeys are, and what will/should happen when you hit them. On Linux, after hitting CTRL+SHIFT+R, I just get the option to launch Chrome. I come back and hit CTRL+SHIFT+R again, and it's the same option.

I am having the same issue, have you figured out how to solve it?

Have you tried shutting down chrome before launching it from this plugin?

I don't think english is his native language… At least there was a screencast showing off the features

From the demo code: $scope.Russia = true

I'm guessing Russian

Yap you right, but this is geographic variable :)

Hey do you know why it isnt working on linux?

"On Linux, after hitting CTRL+SHIFT+R, I just get the option to launch Chrome. I come back and hit CTRL+SHIFT+R again, and it's the same option"

and the console shows: Created new window in existing browser session. [Finished in 0.4s]

I actually like the typing - I can watch the video without having to turn sound on. (the reason why I hate screencasts normally). Makes it much easier to watch on the train or during a lecture.

If only the typing was a bit faster, it would be perfect.

I liked the video presentation and the music. Thought it was quite nice. Thought what was going on was very clear.
