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...

- sebmellen 6mo agoVery cool app. How do you feel it compares to something like TablePlus?
- jaredklewis 6mo agoPerhaps 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.
- mikenikles 6mo agoI 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! [1] https://seaquel.app https://seaquel.app
