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!

Just purchased the yearly - this was even better than advertised with being able to have video as media in addition to images. This is already better than many of the other options on the market I have tried. Excellent work. One question - I want to share my account login with my business partner, is there a way to share a login?

I've been following Derek closely as he's been working for the past >1 year to make MockRocket a reality. Congratulations on the launch!

I saw a discussion on HN earlier today criticizing SPAs for offloading data processing to the user's machine, benefiting Facebook/Google/big tech at the expense of the user experience. I think that conversation sometimes misses the positive side of React/client-based apps.

MockRocket and other web-based creative tools demonstrate the strength of the web as an application platform, making complex tools more accessible and easily distributed than before. Derek's built a pretty slick editing & rendering experience that allows more people access to video editing, without having a powerful machine with a GPU. I'm incredibly impressed with the rendering fidelity he's been able to build into MockRocket and excited to play around with it more.

Another great application is https://www.photopea.com/ -- a pretty powerful photoshop competitor that also works exclusively in the browser. Looking forward to seeing more people build and distribute creative/technical tools that more people have access to.

Thanks so much!

I definitely need to show more examples with videos on the screens.

Currently there's not a great way to share accounts with multiple users other than to buy another account or share your email, but I do plan to add more team collaboration features down the road, especially once I allow people to save projects as templates to use again (soon!).

But if you'd like to change the email on the account to something easier to share we can make that happen, just shoot me an email or chat with the details.

(In the future I may also look at selling these accounts explicitly as limited to a certain number of seats, but for now it's all good if you want to share with your business partner, and you'd be grandfathered in if change things later).

Thanks Chris!

Agreed–data processing on the user's device can certainly be abused in some cases, but when it's used right you can build some pretty amazing experiences with modern web APIs.

Closely following the development of WebGPU as well–I think that's going to enable a whole new class of web apps with serious graphics and compute power.

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…

I'd have bought already if I could checkout on mobile :) I went to pricing, "images & animations" package, "upgrade now" and then I got stopped out because I'm on mobile right now. Therefore, If I were you, I'd focus on getting the checkout to work on mobile.
