Launched Quickcut.io - looking for a partner

http://quickcut.io

Hey folks - recently launched http://quickcut.io - a novel way to quickly edit talk-heavy video (podcasts, videocasts, tutorials, courses, rough cuts, ads...). Would love more eyes and feedback.

I'm also looking for a marketing-focused partner if you're interested do let me know!

    Hi Ala, looks like a great product. I would like to talk about partnership, how can I contact you?

    Very cool. Looks a lot like https://www.descript.com/ which does audio.

    I am totally in this target market but don't see myself using this because it causes jump cuts. If I edit talking, I make sure to cover the cuts with a camera change or B roll.

    But I like the idea of it.

    Really like this. You've hit all my bullet points: Solved a problem I didn't know how to begin to solve, professional-looking website reflects the care you must have taken, free to try, and not terribly expensive to use long-term. You've just gained a customer.

      Much appreciated! I'd love to hand-hold you through v1 (It's still quite fragile) - add me on (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alashiban/) - we can use Chat there and find us time for a call

    Hi.

    Saw your app. Quick question(s). How did you build your app? Framework? Cut/Copy/Paste?

    The pricing columns, did you hand code this?

    thanks

      If you mean tech stack - I chose:

      1. Angular on the front-end(amazing how much easier it is now compared to React and Angular a few years ago)
      2. Node+Typescript on the backend
      3. Proton-native for the client (Avoided Electron to reduce file size and having to bundle the browser)
      4. ffmpeg on the client side for rendering and video analysis
      5. jekyll for the blog (in hindsight, I'd use wordpress + static file generation)
      6. There's some machine learning magic there for audio/video analysis

      The web site and content are based on themeforest themes that I modified heavily (by hand)

        Nice! One question, though.
        Why WordPress over Jekyll?

        1. 1

          The ecosystem around Wordpress is massive. Plugins, extensions, themes, site builders, CLIs, GUI, etc. With a few plugins you can generate a fully static site just like Jekyll, but also benefit from the ecosystem.

          I put together a quick patached Docker-based wordpress starter that uses SQLite instead of MySQL - so backing up or duplicating is a copy/paste operation. (https://github.com/AlaShiban/wordpress-sqlite-docker-compose)
