Interesting to see this.
A couple months ago I launched a site (https://familymemorystream.com/ https://familymemorystream.com/) that allows annotating videos but is targeted towards the niche of converted family videos.
I was considering opening it up to make a generic "video note taker" version; it looks like you beat me to it :)
Best wishes! It will be interesting to see where you end up with the pricing model. It looks like you're using YouTube/Vimeo for the video hosting so that frees you up to do one-time purchases if you want since your server costs will likely stay fairly constant across scale.
- matiastucci 6y agothat looks great. Yeah, I'm still figuring out the business model. I think a one time purchase is probably what I'm going to do. BTW, after launching it in Product Hunt I saw a few similar ideas too :)
- sjg007 6y agoYou could probably sell subscriptions to you-tubers who want to annotate videos on their channels. I am sure they would find a way to do cool things with it.
- matiastucci 6y agoyeah, I think I'll make a list of a couple YouTube channels I like and reach to them
- deckeraa 6y agoOne of my users pointed out that it would be nice to have a fully off-line capable app. There are a couple barriers to this: - It would require users to have a p2p system set up to get the video onto their system, which is a configuration barrier for most users. - It's not clear what the monetization strategy would be to fund the development of the app. - It would require a large amount of device storage to hold the videos. But if someone were able to figure those out, they might be able to differentiate from the similar products.
- matiastucci 6y agooffline would be great, but yeah... I think that is going to be hard and expensive, like you said
