Congrats on the launch. These points are purely my opinion, I'm a nobody, take it with a grain of salt.

1. I understand the need to push for a scheduled demo, but revealing your magic trick early is a good thing in this case, why not link a demo in your landing page?

2. I swear I have good eyesight, but I totally missed the "Record a video" CTA.

3. I had to remember what Loom was. Is okay to be an alternative, but don't rely too much on them. I should be able to tell what your product is without scrolling.

4. I really recommend you to check out ways to fit your content vertically, e.g. the video player, or the confirmation after recording a video. Had to scroll.

5. Price is a toggle, but should work as tabs, it's counter intuitive.

6. Show payment methods early.

7. Clicking "Get Started" sends me to "Sign In". You claim we don't need an account to use the product (record), but yet you assume I have an account.

Hi kinduff, thanks for your feedback!

1. Yeah, I also noticed it's easier to explain the product using a video demo. I will add a recorded demo to the landing page! https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify/issues/17

2. The big red button in the hero section?

3. My goal is for users who are searching for something like "loom alternative" end up finding snapify. This also couples with 1.

4. Thanks for reporting that, fixed in https://github.com/MarconLP/snapify/issues/16

5. That's correct, initially I wanted something like what cal.com has on their pricing page: https://cal.com/pricing, but in the end that's just a minor thing.

6. Early in the checkout process, the landing page, or the pricing page? It's currently only mentioned in the FAQ on the pricing page.

7. Are you talking about the "Record a video" button? Recording a quick video and saving it locally does not require an account, but it's required when uploading to the cloud.
