Earlier quoted context omitted.

It certainly wouldn't hurt for HN to add some JS to check for 'Show HN' in title posts and prompt to confirm they're following this rule.

That's on my list to do. But the code would be server-side, as nearly everything on HN is.

It would be also a good idea to promote that page a little more. I have gone through the guidelines and FAQ multiple times checking for stuff, but never saw a link to the said page.

Good point! I'll add that to the list too. We should at least include it in the FAQ.

Great idea! Some feedback: - Too much info required to start (you should streamline signup, job title shouldn't be mandatory IMO) - Creating a new message should be fast! Meaning: - title, body & content should be optional, why can't I just send a video? - clicking Save should automatically upload video - right now video is ignored if Save is clicked mid-recording

Re Job title - I think this is actually a great idea to filter out tire kickers. Obviously you can just fake it, but email plus job title is a pretty powerful combo.

Hi everyone. Founder here. I'm flattered that this popped up on HN. I'm a long-time lurker and browse multiple times a day but seldom post. For some context, you guys are looking at an MVP. It took me a month to build this. The marketing site was done in 2 hours (today, fuelled by coffee). I'm bootstrapping after leaving my corporate job last year. Not trying to make excuses, but I think a lot of questions can simply…

Why use this when I can record a video from photobooth and upload it to Slack, where all majority of team conversation already happens for the majority of tech companies with remote workers? Cool idea but doesn't need a separate app.

"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software."

It's not really the same thing, is it?

What's easier? Recording a video & drag-drop into the app that 100% of our team communication already relies on - or convince our PM to sign up our 30 people team for an app that does it out of the box.

Also, this function comes out of the box on Slack mobile.

What I'd like to see (which would likely make me use it) is an integration inside of Gmail. I click one button to record and then I send that email. The no 1 value for me would be that it's much faster than writing. And it's also easier to talk while walking to the subway than to write. So create that and I'm in!
