i'm sorry but i came here earlier today and wanted to comment how there is literally zero examples or demos on the site without actually registering, however many beat me to it. so i saw that the author was going to put up a demo video and i waited. now seeing the demo video i have to say, what was i waiting for. i watched the video and there is nothing demoing how to actually build the app. all i see is a video of someone fiddling with setting for an already completed app. where are the demo showing how to easy it will be to connect your graphql service to this. where is the demo showing how to actually build a screen with data being pulled from graphql. sorry dude, but imho, you missed the mark with this. again you proved that programmers make lousy marketers.

Hey, author here. Thanks for the feedback, sorry about the lack of marketing material - I'll get better at it. Let me address some issues you brought up:

- "all i see is a video of someone fiddling with setting for an already completed app."

The demo isn't starting with an "already completed app". Graphite generates a default app based on your GraphQL schema, and it is up to the user to further customize it to their needs. That's why it looks "already completed".

- "where are the demo showing how to easy it will be to connect your graphql service to this."

Connecting to the GraphQL services was shown in the beginning of the demo video when I typed in the GraphQL URL.

- "where is the demo showing how to actually build a screen with data being pulled from graphql"

Every screen in the demo video showed data being pulled from GraphQL. Graphite generates the queries behind the scenes automatically without the user even knowing.

your video has no sound, voice over or explanation _what_so_ever_. again... you built the thing, so you know what's going on. how am i, as a potential customer, suppose to know what this is and does. you can defend yourself til you're blue in the face but that doesn't make the video any more clear to a potential customer. I would suggest that you look at these other product demonstration videos for inspiration.

i'm not trying to be a jerk. you have most likely put an incredible amount of time and energy into bringing this product to life. don't let it fail because you refuse to take another day and demonstrate it properly.
