This could be really useful if it allows me to quickly highlight features by embedding short clips throughout my marketing site. Just joined the waitlist and shared my saas app.

I would like to try it, but it's a different use case (more website showcase demos, not apps). Does that fit into your product?

This is cool. If it is just animating things sort of randomly or based on when elements load I don’t see great real world use out of it. But if it captures all of the elements and allows you to edit what shows when and record actions against elements this could prove useful in tutorial videos.

In the phone view, there's nothing in the hamburger menu.

thanks for raising this, there is currently nothing in the nav bar, but seems that hamburger menu is still there, I'll remove it :)

the latter is definitely the long term vision. Today we do capture the elements, but do some sort of 'automated' (tree traversal) to produce the video. Would definitely love to give future users even more fine grained control
