Show HN: I developed an app that creates interactive product demos in minutes

FYI, the sample demo is broken for me. When I hit play it the whole frame "vibrates", apparently switching between two (nearby) sizes every frame or so. (Hotspots are still clickable.) Resizing the window or moving to a different DPI screen doesn't help. Chrome 106.0.5249.103 on Win10.

I signed up on mobile not realizing it requires a Chrome Extension in order to work.

Is there a Firefox extension yet? I think those can work on mobile.

Enabling people to create product demos from their phones would be badass!

I am seeing the same issue

This looks really cool, and easy to use! Results, as far as the demo can tell, seems nice as well, nicely done!

However, I'm afraid that the service would only work in a hosted context, correct? So I'm embedding some JS from a external website + loading the data about what the would do, all remotely to your running external website?

Personally I try to avoid this as much as possible for my own websites and websites I create for clients. Always try to either inline stuff that gets used, or at least store it together with the site itself, so everything loads from one domain (CSP becomes a lot easier to control) and the site itself is self-contained.

I'm guessing there is no way to achieve that with this tool?

I really like the results, but bit wary of the implementation.

Thanks for letting me know, guys.

I tested it on different MacBooks, and it works without any issues.

I guess the problem is mainly with Windows. I will try to fix this.
