I think it's really useful to describe your product as an alternative to a well known product. Most people will instantly get it, much more so than a long re-definition of the original product.
- ezconnect 2y agoI have no idea what Loom is, I also have the same issue I didn't tell me what the product is and just got confuse and didn't explore further.
- ARandomerDude 2y agoSame. I’ve never heard of Loom and (therefore?) I’m honestly not sure how this would be different on a Mac than a QuickTime screen recording. And since the promo images are from a Mac, my first thought is Quicktime is probably safer.
- memset 2y agoJust to address this comment chain: loom does make it easier to do screen recordings and demos, and additionally has features like timestamped comments and notes and sharing functionality. The target customer is a business who is making demo videos and needs these kinds of tracking/collaboration/commenting features. Folks interested in open source maybe want a better offering, don’t want to be locked in, want more favorable pricing, or want a self hosted version. As someone who has used loom, the value proposition is clear from the title without even going to the website.
- gmueckl 2y agoIt wouldn't hurt if the key sentence from your first paragraph was in the top two paragraphs of the landing page.
- stephenr 2y agoApparently not that well known - I've never heard of it either.
