My Mac App got 1k+ installs within a month πŸ†

✏️ Have you ever wished to draw on the screen during a video call to explain something better to your viewers?

πŸ–± Did you ever move your mouse repeatedly to grab the attention of the attendees during a presentation?

🌟 If your answer is yes to any of the above then you would love Presentify.

πŸ† It got 1K+ installs within a month and now I'm looking for more channels to publish the app, for example, Setapp, Captera, etc.

🍎 It is currently available on the Mac App Store only but it would soon be available on Setapp too.

πŸ’­ I would love to know your thoughts regarding future features or ways to sell it better. I am also happy to share how I got my first 1K users if anyone is interested.

✌️Cheers!

    Hey Ram, that's a really solid start :)

    I've downloaded it, looks really great for collaboration, especially for remote teams (I've worked remotely for the past 5 years now and I could really see something this adding a lot of value to remote teams).

    One thing that feels like really low hanging fruit is the ability to add text. So if I highlight something I might want to add a little explainer around it.

    The second thing I would like to see is the ability to share annotated screens. i.e. If I'm giving feedback on something I can make the highlights and annotations and share it asynchronously.

    Do you have usage analytics on the app? The first things I would look at is who's using the app the most and how often are they using it (are they coming back multiple times a day etc). I'd also look at how many people didn't engage with the app at all after installing (I installed it myself and it took a minute to figure out how to open it so there might be a quick win on having an onboarding page/video that opens up to show people how to get started)

    Happy to chat in more detail around all this if you would like too, I have a few ideas around who could get the most value and how you could learn more about the issues people face when collaborating remotely - It just might get a bit lengthy for comment on IH :)

      Thanks so much for an expounded reply.

      Text support is coming up in the next update.

      Regarding sharing your annotations, you can capture a screenshot with Command + Shift + 3 or Command + Shift + 4 and then share the screenshot with others. A better/easier way to capture screenshot will be added soon.

      Regarding how to open the app the first time, yes, I have had 2-3 users in the past reaching out to me for this. I will add a pop-up balloon or something to indicate that the app has started and to click on the top to begin (something along these lines). I can add this in the next update as well. Also, to ameliorate the issue, for now, I have added this to the FAQ page.

      Regarding analytics, I am currently not collecting any but the app would be soon available on setapp.com and it would be providing me with those analytics. This is a good idea though. I can implement something of my own too and collect usage data (of course after taking consent from the users and it would be totally optional).

      Definitely, I would love to chat and know your thoughts. Let me know what's the best way to reach out to you.
