Would help to have the demo on the homepage. Or a video.

andrewtbham Oct 13, 2010 View on HN

the video is a great idea. i agree... it's a big problem explaining the site's functionality.

First off congrats on launching a novel idea and hitting HN front page.Question / feedback — why is there no way to see what one of these looks like on the website? You have a header that says "see it in action" that literally doesn't allow you to see the video you're saying it produces.I have an idea in my mind of what it looks like but I think you'd do well to have multiple examples illustrating different situations where this product could be useful.

sounds great. A simple demo video on homepage would be helpful.

Just some feedback for your website: Maybe show a small video of what it's like to actually use the app, rather than screenshots + descriptions what it does. Doesn't have to be fancy at all, but just a demonstration of the actual user experience.

Perhaps add a demo video or more screenshots of the features. It's not really clear what your product does.

The page really needs a video explaining the app, or a link to a demo. I don't want to sign up just to find out why it's worth investigating.

A demo or video would have been useful.

A video demo or screenshots would really help. its too abstract right now to know exactly what you are offering.

Nice idea. Would be good to see a demo video on the homepage.
