Beta is out! Request feedback!

Hello everyone,

We just launched the Beta version of this tool I posted about earlier. This tool is more or less Google docs on steroids. You can type text, format it, insert images, insert videos, and record your screen live, all while collaborating with others.

Super useful for doing quick demos and presentations. No downloads needed. It's designed to work on desktop browsers and iPads.

You can sign up at https://boingiboingi.com to start using the tool.

Looking forward to all feedback!

    Functionality-wise it looks great, just a couple of thoughts:

    • The landing page somehow looks a little "bland", I just don't think that it looks great. Maybe vary the font size a little bit? I'm no designer, maybe someone else could help.
    • Currently, you have to select text to insert an image/video?
    • The advanced options menu entries don't do anything?

      Hey.. Thanks. Appreciate the comment! Yes, you have to select at this point. It is a bit rusty that way.
      Yes, it wouldn't do anything unless you sign up or sign in. We might wanna give a pop up for that, asking the person to sign up.

    10 minute review - Really easy to use/nifty - I love the screen capture, that's extremely awesome how well it works, can record anything running, and then embeds it instantly inside there. It's the type of thing I would use at work with a few folks to quickly bounce things back and forth, quickly give demo videos of what is/isn't working, etc.

    It would be nice to be able to share the link without requiring someone to log in - Let them have view access only, but login required to do anything with it?

      Really appreciate the feedback!

      Log in is not required to just view it. However, it does ask you for name and e-mail, just in case you wanna sign up. The next page where it asks you to set a password can be skipped, if you don't wanna sign up.

      We should probably allow a skip for the name and e-mail as well. Is that what think could be a good idea?

        Yeah, I’ll be honest didn’t even realize how you had the flow for that. From a drawing folks into the app standpoint, acts as a barrier to quickly jumping into it.

          Hey, we added an option to skip at the e-mail and name collection step as well. Let me know if this makes a difference in your use case.
