Hi kinduff, thanks for your feedback!

1. Yeah, I also noticed it's easier to explain the product using a video demo. I will add a recorded demo to the landing page! https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify/issues/17

2. The big red button in the hero section?

3. My goal is for users who are searching for something like "loom alternative" end up finding snapify. This also couples with 1.

4. Thanks for reporting that, fixed in https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify/issues/16

5. That's correct, initially I wanted something like what cal.com has on their pricing page: https://cal.com/pricing, but in the end that's just a minor thing.

6. Early in the checkout process, the landing page, or the pricing page? It's currently only mentioned in the FAQ on the pricing page.

7. Are you talking about the "Record a video" button? Recording a quick video and saving it locally does not require an account, but it's required when uploading to the cloud.

Thanks! I took a look at stream.new which is surprisingly similar. And yes, I am uploading and serving the raw MediaRecorder output, without any transcoding.

Did you by any chance try to view the demo using Safari? https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify/issues/12

What kind of chat app or video hosting platform did you use?

I've often encountered errors like: "You file is too powerful" - Discord, when trying to share my recording.

hace 3 añosdiscuss

Haha, yeah I can assure you that's not the Loom I meant.

I actually spoke with Peer Richelsen (CEO @ Cal.com) and he asked me the same question. Also mentioning that open-source is only beneficial when selling to enterprise companies, just like PostHog or Activepieces is planning/doing.

I was thinking about why someone would choose Snapify over Loom, being open-source would be one argument. But if those people are willing to pay is another question...

Hey there! After realizing that there is no open-source tool to quickly record your screen and get a sharable link, similar to loom, I built Snapify.

Recordings will look like this: https://snapify.it/share/clk3mpgnu0003mj0f042964wg

We’d love to hear HN’s thoughts on what we’re building! Thanks!

Any tips on how to sell this as I am struggling to get my first customer. Is it valuable to you and could you see your team using it?

I am also open for freelance work!

Thank you!

I didn't notice email validation was such a huge problem. I created an issue: https://github.com/Tablane/tablane/issues/17

I was just listing Waterloo University as an example as that is the one Joma Tech went to: https://www.youtube.com/c/jomaoppa

Pasting images into the description is something I plan on doing! A problem there would be stoage costs. (a solution would be a google drive integration)

what do you mean by pasting comments into the task description?

hace 4 añosdiscuss

Awesome! could you add me on linkedIn? https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-hof/

hace 4 añosdiscuss

Could you open the Devtools and check the exact error?

I tried to signup with [email protected] with threw an error but [email protected] worked!

hace 4 añosdiscuss

Hi, definitely interested! I couldn't find any contact information on your HN account.

hace 4 añosdiscuss

Thanks! I created an issue for that bug: https://github.com/Tablane/tablane/issues/15

hace 4 añosdiscuss

Thanks for the feedback! That is definitely something I am going to add. (a workspace setup like in the https://tablane.net preview)

I went through all different redux version, by starting with writing every Reducer myself (I know now this is not recommended anymore), then switching to redux toolkit, and finally realized what I actually need is Server Side State with RTK Query!

hace 4 añosdiscuss

Awesome!

I already applied 2 weeks ago, but was denied with the reason that you are currently looking for more experienced developers: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog.com/pull/4922

hace 4 añosdiscuss

I agree! Integrations with tools like Zappier, Activepieces, etc are definitely super userful and already planned:

The onboarding is something I need to work on! I plan on having a basic example of some board right after you sign up.
