If any founders are considering to do the same thing, I much prefer a GIF-based demo like the one used for Sublime Text: http://www.sublimetext.com/ http://www.

- thirsteh 13y agoWhy?
- toddmorey 13y agoI think he mostly means the clarity of a screen capture vs. a shaky shot of a physical screen. I like the indy feel of this but it did give me a headache to watch (even though it's only a few seconds). If you want to feature the actual phone, maybe have it resting on a hard surface or otherwise steadied.
- thirsteh 13y agoAh, that makes more sense.
- kmfrk 13y agoIt obviously makes sense in this case, given the novelty value of it - it being on the frontpage of HN - but I think there's a better alternative for the frontpage of a service's website.
- thirsteh 13y agoThe Paddle animation isn't a GIF. It's a video. That's why I asked you why you thought Sublime's GIF (which isn't actually a GIF, but a compressed PNG animated with JavaScript) was better.
- jonny_eh 13y agoYou mean animated PNGs? http://www.sublimetext.com/~jps/animated_gifs_the_hard_way.html http://www.sublimetext.com/~jps/animated_gifs_the_hard_way.h...
