Holding the button

Is it possible to start recording by just one click instead of holding the button?

I'm looking for the same thing.

PRs welcome 😄 It shouldn't be too hard to add as this is a UI only change.

Hey, fair point! First of all, I'm super happy that you've built the component!

From what I see in your implementation the two behaviours are quite different. I think the component would feel quite clumsy if you'd e. g. make users choose via a prop if they what the mouse-down-up behaviour or click-to-start behaviour.

Also, I'd maybe like to add some animation. Do you see a simple way to get increments of the recorded blobs with access to the recorded volume or smth that could serve as a basis for an animation?

The web audio api offers access to the underlying waveform data as it's coming in which you could use to power an equalizer-type visualization via FFT. There are examples online of this type of thing if your Google fu is on point 😉
