Hi,
Just a quick note: I don't like things cluttering my home dir.
Neither did the numerous folk who made the XDG Base Directory Specification.
They ask you to put stuff in .config:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user-specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used.

I kindly ask you to do this as well.
Thanks.

You can take the time to search and see #407
In particular note:

I've now implemented a compromise: if the ~/.ssr directory does not exist, but the ~/.config/simplescreenrecorder directory does exist, then it will be used instead. In all other cases SSR will fall back to ~/.ssr, creating it if necessary. So you can now move the SSR directory manually and keep your home folder (more) clean if you prefer.
