no clear value prop, and if you are explaining why we should buy it a lot - it's a clear indicator that maybe we should not. Let product sell itself

made more adjustments. Thanks for the feedback. The concept is rather simple. Why share videos with "Loom" and other places when you want to record screencasts.

I think I'm missing some sort of visual in the hero section. It's very cluttered with text at the moment

not very clear what it does. Logo is quite poor.

How is this worth $79 when there are so many free tools out there? Do people really care so much about the fact that the video is on their HD?

Solid layout but what is the actual product?

lmao... wow... can't believe I missed that part! addressing that now, please come back and check out the updates. but to answer you directly - it's Loom only private so the video never leaves your computer. Everything stays private and you can still do screencast like videos.

I've read over the copy a few times and I'm still not 100% what you are offering. It might mean I don't have the problem you are speaking to, it feels like it's not a clear value prop.

Totally agree, and am working to update the page now. I hope you come back and check it out.

Landing page is too bland, walls of text and feels LLM generated. Product is interesting but the landing page fails to really sell it.

Please consider accessibility when designing the site ie colours

I like the idea but it would be great to showcase some proofs like screenshots from the app or video. Having them behind sign up only harms the product.

Thanks for the feedback. Once you login, I believe you can try it out for free with watermarks? Or did that option not work for you?

So many plans, I'd suggest you to remove the free-plan and another one (not the lifeplan). The Hero section is quite caotic and your product on the rightside is too small.

Hey there - I saw it and glad you said something. I went ahead and revamped the site this morning. Feedback on the redo version?

should probably just be open source

Why do you say that "should probably just be open source"? Then everyone today should just give away software they worked on. Is that what you would like to see. Creators building things and just giving them away? Explain.
