For enterprises you could consider adding an enterprise pricing option with on-prem hosting. Standups discuss IP and a lot of companies never let IP out of premise/DMZ. Especially not in stored format. You needn't even have it yet, you can use the pricing option to see if you can catch a big fish who wants to pay for your development of it. (of course you bring that different but it works the same).

Thanks for mentioning this. I understand what you mean. I used to work for a 1000+ company that currently uses GitHub, JIRA, Confluence and Slack, all of them self-hosted. So yeah, and it's a German company, so they're extra worried about protecting their data. Self-hosted support is definitely on the roadmap. And will update the pricing page to explain this a little bit better. Thanks again for bringing it up!

I love the idea! Where do you store the videos? What's your tech stack? Maybe read/watch receipts for who has watched the videos right beneath the videos themselves would be an improvement.

Thanks so much. :) I store the videos/media on S3 and use CloudFront for cache. Tech stack is Node.js on Heroku, MongoDB, ReactJS with MobX (if you're doing ReactJS these I must say you _have_ to be using MobX, it's just amazing, shoutout to @mweststrate), Netlify (they're really great) and AWS Lambda. Thanks for mentioning read/watch/"seen", as it is on the roadmap and will come in the next days. It can be toggled o…

What about encoding? Are you doing that on the device or in the cloud? Curious if there were any latency challenges you had to dig into.

Thanks for asking. The encoding is on the device, that's right, as most of the times after the upload, the user can play out the video right away, and also to avoid extra work on the cloud transcoder/remuxer. In order to make sure that videos will be playable on all platforms (Web, Android, iOS) I need to transcode or remux, depending on the case (iOS doesn't decode VP8 sadly). :)

Hi JP, I love the website. Great job. I'd start collecting email addresses at the bottom of blog articles to reengage with the visitors in the future. You can do it unobtrusively and actually it also helps users. For example, I would like to get an email update when you publish a new content but couldn't find any way for it. Good luck!

Hello Sung. Thank you so much for the kuddos and the tips! I will be doing this soon, just added it to my backlog! :)

I haven't tried to use it, but in case it's helpful, these would be the features I would want: jot down notes before record, allow preview and then re-record, allow saving text notes with the video, allow tagging people if you need them to see a stand-up (ex. to ask for help), be able to see who has viewed your stand-up, and a minimum stand-up time. Slack integration would be great too, as each recorded message could…

Hello Peter. Most of these features are there, a few coming (in the roadmap) like the seen flag.

Try it out with your team https://standups.io/register and let me know how it worked for you :)

I like the idea, and it looks nice, but this is definitely one of those products that would benefit immensely from a video intro instead of static screenshots that don’t convey nearly enough. Also your free trial buttons are broken (visually, wrap and break) on small mobile screens.

Footer CTAs are now fixed :) Thank you for letting me know.

Not just footer CTAs - they’re still broken! These are the ‘start your free trial’ red buttons. I’m on an iPhone SE

Thanks for reporting back again about it. Now all CTAs are fixed, just tested on the iPhone SE simulator :) Have a great weekend!
