Supademo
Capture clicks and screenshots into an interactive walkthrough with editable annotations
The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Supademo, capture clicks and screenshots into an interactive walkthrough with editable annotations. The hard boundary is hosted embeds, analytics, personalization, integrations, and team libraries, plus capture polish, hosting, and collaboration.
Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability
What you give up
- hosted embeds, analytics, personalization, integrations, and team libraries
- instant hosted sharing
- viewer analytics
- team libraries
- cross-device capture
Why people still pay
People still pay for Supademo because the recording itself is easy; the subscription removes upload, transcoding, sharing, organization, and support work. The recurring cost buys OS permissions, codecs, rendering performance, uploads, storage, links, and viewer analytics, not just the visible interface.
Your build guide
The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.
Before you start
- Runtime and tools: TypeScript, React and a Node server with SQLite for a single small workspace.
- Before starting: A local Node runtime, writable data directory, sample records and a documented backup/restore path.
Use these project rules and optional skill references alongside the prompt. Review each skill before adding it to your agent; the AGENTS.md export includes the same guidance.
Project rule — domain: Store Walkthrough, Step, ScreenshotRevision, Hotspot and Redaction; hotspot coordinates use normalized image dimensions and exported screenshots have redactions flattened.
Project rule — scope and recovery: Start with manually imported screenshots or an explicitly activated capture extension. Do not capture passwords/unrelated tabs or promise interaction with the real application from a static demo.
Project rule — acceptance: Resize the player and replace one screenshot after adding a hotspot; preserve valid positioning, flag stale targets and keep removed secrets out of the exported assets.
Project rule — delivery: document real setup commands and permissions; do not claim a build, accuracy level, performance result or security certification that has not been demonstrated.
Recommended skill: vercel-react-best-practices — keep the proposed React work/review views responsive and avoid unnecessary rendering or data-fetch waterfalls. Follow the maintainer's installation instructions and match its requirements to the chosen runtime.
Recommended skill: web-design-guidelines — review keyboard access, focus, validation, error recovery and the readable work/review interface or HTML report. Follow the maintainer's installation instructions and match its requirements to the chosen runtime.
Implementation plan
Phase 1
Pin the working slice and create its example input: Capture a user-approved sequence of screenshots and click targets, redact private details, add callouts and export an interactive walkthrough. Confirm setup: A local Node runtime, writable data directory, sample records and a documented backup/restore path.
Phase 2
Implement persistence and write-time invariants before decorating the UI: Store Walkthrough, Step, ScreenshotRevision, Hotspot and Redaction; hotspot coordinates use normalized image dimensions and exported screenshots have redactions flattened.
Phase 3
Connect the working view to real saved state. Use migrations and server-side validation; expose saved, pending and failed states. Keep each write atomic and reject stale edits using a revision number.
Phase 4
Expose the app-specific limits and recovery path in context: Start with manually imported screenshots or an explicitly activated capture extension. Do not capture passwords/unrelated tabs or promise interaction with the real application from a static demo.
Phase 5
Walk through this concrete acceptance case and preserve its exported evidence: Resize the player and replace one screenshot after adding a hotspot; preserve valid positioning, flag stale targets and keep removed secrets out of the exported assets. Finish the README and backup/restore instructions; report unfinished capabilities explicitly.
Build the following focused alternative to Supademo. This is a deliberately limited personal or small-team substitute, not parity with the paid service. WORKING SLICE Capture a user-approved sequence of screenshots and click targets, redact private details, add callouts and export an interactive walkthrough. SETUP AND ARCHITECTURE Use TypeScript, React and a Node server with SQLite for a single small workspace. Prerequisites: A local Node runtime, writable data directory, sample records and a documented backup/restore path. Before integrating anything, record actual versions and permissions, plus model files or provider limits only where used, in the README; make unavailable dependencies visible rather than simulating success. DOMAIN MODEL AND INVARIANTS Store Walkthrough, Step, ScreenshotRevision, Hotspot and Redaction; hotspot coordinates use normalized image dimensions and exported screenshots have redactions flattened. IMPLEMENTATION CONTRACT Use migrations and server-side validation; expose saved, pending and failed states. Keep each write atomic and reject stale edits using a revision number. Provide an input/setup view, the main work view, and a review/export view appropriate to this workflow. Preserve the last saved state if a job or save fails. Include empty, loading, permission-denied, partial and retryable-error states. Log identifiers and error categories without secret values or unnecessary private content. APP-SPECIFIC BOUNDARY AND RECOVERY Start with manually imported screenshots or an explicitly activated capture extension. Do not capture passwords/unrelated tabs or promise interaction with the real application from a static demo. ACCEPTANCE SCENARIO Resize the player and replace one screenshot after adding a hotspot; preserve valid positioning, flag stale targets and keep removed secrets out of the exported assets. Also reopen the app after an interrupted operation, confirm the saved record/export remains inspectable, and document the recovery action. These are implementation acceptance requirements, not a claim that this guide has been tested. DELIVERY Deliver a runnable repository with migrations or project-format versioning, a non-sensitive example, environment/permission setup, the exact manual acceptance steps, and a backup/export-and-restore walkthrough. Implement the working slice before optional integrations; list any deferred paid-product capabilities honestly. Do not add capabilities outside the working slice just to resemble the original product. PROJECT RULES FOR AGENTS.md Keep the domain invariants above executable at the write boundary. Propose scope changes before adding providers or permissions. Never fabricate source evidence, publish results, identity matches or successful delivery. Preserve user originals and require an explicit confirmation for destructive changes or external publication.

Questions about Supademo
Can you build your own Supademo with AI?
Partly. The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Supademo, capture clicks and screenshots into an interactive walkthrough with editable annotations. The hard boundary is hosted embeds, analytics, personalization, integrations, and team libraries, plus capture polish, hosting, and collaboration.
What does the Supademo build prompt cover?
The prompt starts with this scope: Capture a user-approved sequence of screenshots and click targets, redact private details, add callouts and export an interactive walkthrough. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: hosted embeds, analytics, personalization, integrations, and team libraries; instant hosted sharing; viewer analytics. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.
How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?
Start with the Supademo prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.
How long will this Supademo project take?
The catalogue estimate is one sitting for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.
What would I give up by replacing Supademo?
hosted embeds, analytics, personalization, integrations, and team libraries; instant hosted sharing; viewer analytics; team libraries; cross-device capture. People still pay for Supademo because the recording itself is easy; the subscription removes upload, transcoding, sharing, organization, and support work. The recurring cost buys OS permissions, codecs, rendering performance, uploads, storage, links, and viewer analytics, not just the visible interface.
What price is this guide comparing against?
The recorded Scale plan is $38/mo per seat (monthly per user), checked 2026-08-14. Check the linked pricing source before buying. Building your own also has hosting, API and maintenance costs; the recorded amount is not a guaranteed saving.
What can I use instead of building Supademo?
The prior-art section lists Cap as starting points. Review their current scope, license and maintenance before adopting one.
