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.

I have never seen a person do such a thing on Slack.
I believe what I really want is this to be a feature of Slack. Or an integrated 3rd party product.
