Rationale
Screencastify is a Chrome extension that directly competes with Loom by offering screen and webcam recording, basic editing, and instant sharing. It also includes viewer analytics and interactive questions, which align with Loom's focus on asynchronous communication and engagement. While it's a Chrome extension, it serves the same core purpose and offers many of the key features.
