This comment was surprising to me.

I never considered that people want to watch a video in this day and age when they can try the real thing.

Perhaps I've fallen into that trap with the product [1] I'm building. I have a "Live Demo" button on the landing page and thought that would be enough? I'm going to reconsider...

Perhaps it depends on the product, but interacting with demo almost certainly requires more effort than to watch someone else do a demo.

As for me, I’d like to watch a short clip (or at least see screenshots) before I try to demo anything.

I added an interactive demo to my product's landing page [1], thinking people would prefer that over yet another product video.

However, your comment hit me... :-) I'm going to record a video!

TBH that part of your landing page exhibits some confusing UX. Perhaps it's just me but when I see a UI image with a play button I assume that clicking it is going to play a video, not redirect me to a login page.

I think there’s a big difference in commitment between the level of friction in signing up for a service and spending a couple of min on orienting myself and clicking play and watching the happy path go for 30s.

Very cool app. How do you feel it compares to something like TablePlus?

Trying > video > torture >> having to sign up to try.

It’s a design tool. Why communicate it with text?
