Show HN: MockRocket – 3D app mockups and animations in the browser

#1
Hey HN,

I've spent a lot of time over the years building mockups and demo videos for my apps with tools like Photoshop and After Effects, always frustrated by how tedious it was.

For the past year and a half, I've been working on building a better way.

MockRocket makes it easy to show off your app, right from your web browser–no experience required. Choose a template, drag and drop a screenshot or video and display it on a realistic 3D device model. You can even animate it to create a video.

You can customize as much or as little as you want, and export in up to 4K resolution. All rendering is done in the browser, not on a server–using WebGL and WebAssembly–so your imported designs stay 100% private.

This is the first release! Please let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

This looks stunning! Some thoughts: * I cannot buy on mobile ("made for desktop" message). I'll check back on Desktop but not everybody will do. * It's not clear to me if the launch sale fixes the price "forever" or just for the first year.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah I'm still working on figuring out some fallbacks for mobile browsers. It's especially tricky to render videos on mobile, both due to CPU/GPU constraints and due to some missing APIs–even Safari desktop is tough at the moment. But I hear you, I'll try my best to figure out a solution, even if it's just image exports to start.

The sale price does indeed fix the price, it's an 80% discount recurring for as long as you keep the subscription. I'll clarify that!

This looks simply amazing - I've been looking for an all-in-one way to create beautiful app mockups and noticed how tedious the whole process is so I will definitely be looking into this.

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! If you have any questions or requests, free to ping me!
