I like the concept but I do struggle with the price point for 1.5 minute videos per day.

Hello :) Thank you! The timebox will be toggleable soon, I just left it fixed during the first version waiting to get feedback on it. Storage space is not really an issue, so timebox will be defined by the manager/team.

Hey brightball - if you're looking for an alternative that's free for HN users, is mobile first, and has a deep slack integration, I'd love to hear your feedback on Tape (https://agile.trytape.com/ https://agile.trytape.com/)!

I crunched the math earlier and it's something like... 35c a day for a reasonably standard North American tech worker workyear? Doesn't seem that bad, especially to avoid the hassles of coordinating remote teams' standups (hell, even some colocated teams could benefit from this).

  Let's be real here: this is an enthusiast price point. Very few decently sized sized teams will want to fit a 100$ a month into their budget for this little value add. This is maybe even the point: fewer but enthusiastic customers to gather relevant feedback. Haven't seen the ability to host the videos locally, so serious developers are out too. Potentially broadcasting valuable info isn't a big selling point.

so what's the price where you will sign up right now? if I lower it to $3/user/month, will you sign up right now?

  $3/user/month would signal to me to walk away. You can't possibly sustain at that rate if you ask me making investing in use of your tool a risk. Good software costs money, and deserves money, don't lower your prices too much. Consider them carefully.

  No. never lower your prices because of a comment here. There will always be some cheapskate engineer here telling you your thing is too expensive. That's fine. He is not your customer. Your customer is businesses with money. Businesses that have seven dollars. Those businesses, by the way, will just as happily spend $20/seat/month because that also rounds to zero for them. You can experiment with charging them that if you like. But whatever you do don't lower your prices. They're too cheap already.

    Yes I already know that. I was trying to show brightball his comment about "price too high" is ridiculous If $7 / month is too high, then any price below $7 is too high. He should just outright say he wanted it for free, instead of complaining about price
