+# Hardware screen recorder
+This is a screen recorder that has minimal impact on system performance by doing recording a window using the GPU only,
+similar to shadowplay on windows.
+
+This project is still early in development.
+
+# Performance
+When recording a 4k game, fps drops from 30 to 7 when using OBS Studio, however when using this screen recorder
+the fps remains at 30.
+
+# Requirements
+X11, Nvidia (cuda)
+
+# TODO
+* Support resizing the target window! right now that crashes the recorder.
+* Use the sound source in src/sound.cpp to record audio and mux it with ffmpeg to the final video.
+* Support AMD and Intel, using VAAPI. cuda and vaapi should be loaded at runtime using dlopen instead of linking to those
+libraries at compile-time.
+* Clean up the code! \ No newline at end of file
