#2The "Use example video" walk-through does not permit simply clicking through the demo. On the "This is the section where you are going to write your annotations." div, when you click the bottom next-arrow to proceed, it insists "Please, write a title and/or a body".
Users wishing to quickly "scroll" through the demo, are thus prevented from using that style of perusal. Some will punt. Perhaps this is an intentional tradeoff, sacrificing some, to increase engagement of others? It might be interesting to A/B test that. Perhaps the "user provides video url" and "use example video" cases might be handled differently? Perhaps a "Continue with worked example? y/n" instead of the error, to still nudge towards engagement, but with a lower barrier to "I just want to see your thing - why are you stopping me?"?

The reason I am doing that is because there is some UI that appears _after_ you start typing in the input/text area. So I can't show the walkthrough until you do that. You can always just close the tour and interact with the page.
I'll think on how to avoid that though. Thanks for the feedback!

#4I love it.
At the same time, I would never buy it unless I was somehow earning residual income by having it.
SASS pricing not a good model for the average consumer due to the way costs accrue.
If there as a free tier for unlimited personal usage or a one time reasonable fee for unlimited personal usage, I’d probably jump on this. (If I’m going to bother to use a tool, I want a level that I can use on all my personal projects - the model of a few for free is just a waste of time for me) And then a paid tier for people want to use it professionally - eg sharing permissions etc.
Otherwise, awesome tool!

yeah, I didn't implement payments yet because I'm not sure about the model. Maybe a one time price makes sense... it sucks that I just launched on ProductHunt, maybe it would have been a good strategy to launch having that in mind. Thanks for the feedback!

Pre-filling those fields, with the body text auto-selected may be a good compromise.

Awesome response! Companies that “hear” their audiences, are top notch in my book.

#9Would you be able to pull the transcript from YouTube for editing/commenting? That would be really useful for me.
In the future it would be great to have these notes sync/push to RoamResearch

Yeah, I have that in my backlog. I still need to take a look and see how hard it is. Thanks for the feedback!
