Earlier quoted context omitted.
OBS already has a virtual webcam mode, fyi
Yep, and you can prepare a list of scenes that more or less replicates the "script" feature here (though you can't save the "list of scenes" separately).

#82Would this also make sense for video recordings, educational content on YouTube? I wanted to give making educational YouTube content a try, but the whole setup and video editing were just daunting.
Grok. OP's software sounds good but I'm not paying to find out if I like doing the process in the first place.

#83Looking at the pricing you are probably aiming for a niche target group. Best of luck.
Re: Show HN: Presentations for your webcam, not a projector
#84Seems useful, but there’s no way I’m paying a subscription for software that isn’t a service. Supporting this sort of rentseeking only means more of it in the future. I’d crack it before I’d do that.
But I would also dispute this as "rentseeking". Am I taking something from the commons and putting a paywall around it, or am I working hard as a producer of value, and trying to find a way to be rewarded for my labour? To me it feels like the latter. I'm not sitting back on the spoils of capital, I'm working for a living.
Well, to a point. I wouldn't have been able to attempt this without a certain amount of privilege - for instance not being rent-burdened for the last few years due to my partner owning her own home - but I'm not exploiting workers or anything here.
I wish I didn't have to spend so much time thinking about how to make money from my work. But that's Capitalism for you. But if it makes any difference, I described how I wanted to run my company (if it ever starts making enough money to support a team) by paying everyone the same here: https://goodtohear.co.uk/changes/modal/social_enterprise (direct link to a modal which usually sits on the product page).

#86This is tangential, but I believe your cookie banner is not GDPR compliant (and if it’s not compliant, why bother?). It only has the option of accepting cookies, and does not specify the kind of cookies.
But I think it's correct now?
That said, I'm still too scared to look at the damn hotjar data so I don't even know why I'm using it .

#87Is there a free version or is it just a trial? The download button says "Use Now For Free" but doesn't tell me what that means, and I don't see a free tier on the pricing page. Is it free for a limited trial period? How long? Are certain features free while others require payment? This is sort of a pet peeve of mine, many tools offer a "free trial" but don't tell you what the limitations without installing it.
I have made the comparison table link a bit more prominent on the pricing page so hopefully it's less ambiguous now.

The only difference between the paid version and the free download is that you can only create three cards per document. I have made the comparison table link a bit more prominent on the pricing page so hopefully it's less ambiguous now.
Also, on the comparison chart, you could just say something like "Cards per slide: 3 / Infinite / Infinite / Infinite" and do away with the hover text.

#89I think there's a "market mismatch" here. If you're a professional presenter, you're already used to OBS, which is complex but free, open-source, works on all platforms (as opposed to Mac-only). Sure the "draw anywhere" feature is nice, but there are ways to achieve the same thing in OBS using a tablet (various free or paid plugins do this). If you're not a professional presenter, sure this is easier to use than OBS,…
A lot of professionals pay big money for tools that make their workflow simple.

#90Maybe someone knows how to solve a common sharing issue, I didn't see it mentioned here: I have a single ultra wide screen and would like to share a virtual area that has a normal size (16:9) with people via Google Meets, Slack, etc. Otherwise I have to share a window, stop, share another one etc. Really bad, especially during some on call emergency session. So far I couldn't make it work, only Zoom had this feature…
