I am sooo interested in this because I think loom is one of the best and most useful products for communicating knowledge. Especially in remote companies.
But it’s not interactive!
I want to be able for people to add and insert videos, and for me to insert responses or keep building a video based on what people asked.
I’m surprised by the skepticism here. Slides suck ass to communicate ideas, and text is just not enough IMO. The future is: everybody has tablet they can draw with (like the ipad pro) and can easily communicate back and forth by cobuilding an interactive timeline of videos. I see the vision.
- arrosenberg 3y agoI'm personally skeptical because the only thing I want to do less than watch a presentation is be forced to watch a video.
- lxgr 3y agoHow about attending a "webinar"?
- unconsciousrais 3y agoThe skepticism is also driven by Google's track record of killing products and generally lacking a long-term or stable roadmap of product lines (with very few giant exceptions).

- JohnFen 3y agoHonestly, that future sounds like a total nightmare to me. I think this comes down to that different people are better with different kinds of media. I don't do well with video at all. I do best with the written word.
- skeeter2020 3y ago>> Slides suck ass to communicate ideas, Slides are not, and should not, be the primary medium for communicating information. They're a skeleton to hang together a presentation, set tone and context, and anchor your ideas. If they are information dense you need to be very, very careful; typically it's a sign of failure when they're too dense. I love a good presentation, a well designed deck that compliments a presenter who knows their stuff and has (gasp!) practiced... I can't stand bad slide decks and have no tolerance for the lazy garbage that is the majority.
- kevindamm 3y agoTufte would be proud.
- tqi 3y agoVideos are not as information dense as text - both because people talk slower than they read and because authors are forced to spend more time planning and editing. The difference between Loom and Tiktok is Looms don't have to compete for an audience (they are required to watch in order to do their job) which means they are orders of magnitude less carefully made.
