Show HN: I built an idea to video app (opens in new tab)

(frameloop.ai)

8 pointszhacker1y ago2 comments

Frameloop is an AI-powered video creation and automation tool, that turns ideas into publishable videos within seconds. I've been working on this for past 4 months now, and have few paying customers as well.

Most of them are individual creators, and about 20% are businesses.

I'd like to focus more on business users going forwards, and am building branded video features for businesses.

There are many other tools at this point, but my focus has been to focus on great UX, and giving users a really good first draft, which is easily editable.

And I think that focus is what differentiates us.

Try it out, and feel free to share any feedback.

Asking people to sign up is an obstacle.

It’s in your interests to not require that.

People might be willing to give you 20 seconds to have a quick look.

And if you hook them in 20 seconds they might give you 20 seconds more.

And if your software is compelling you might get 20 more seconds from them to try it out.

When a user gives you 20 seconds attention, that’s a gift and it might be all you get.

But many new software sites use that gift to throw a “sign up” form at the user.

That 20 second gift should be rewarded with a unique experience that the user enjoys so much that they are compelled to gift you more time.

I'm of the same opinion as you, and have infact built projects with zero signup requirement. racketmeter.com being one of them. So, I understand your POV. But with an AI product like this, where every trial has a cost associated, people who are not compelled to signup, might not be a good fit. I'm certainly missing out on potential users, but being a bootstrapped founder, it's a call that I had to take. But I do take your comment sincerely, and will try to think of creative ways to show people what it feels like to use the product and see the aha moment in first 20 seconds.
