Product Hunt launch after a year of work
Hey awesome people!
I'm thrilled to announce that we're launching the beta version of Hipclip today.
It's been a really fun and at the same time challenging journey. Who would have thought that building serverless rendering is so difficult (lol)
Finally, thousands of hours of work later, it's time to show you what we've built.
Hipclip helps you unlock the full value of your podcasts and webinars.
Easily cut out sections you don't need and turn your favorite parts into bite-sized clips for social media or repurpose transcripts into blog posts and e-books. All inside your browser.
Please support us on Product Hunt today. We will really appreciate it!
Congrats on the launch, but why it took 1 year before launching?
A combination of things really.
Tech. Video editing in the browser is difficult.
We built a few prototypes for the rendering engine before we stumbled upon the current solution. One of those detours took us 3 months but also helped to learn a lot.
Focus on the wrong customer profile in the first months didn’t help either. Thankfully, we know better now.
Wasting time on investors during the worst market conditions also wasn’t too helpful.
Just to name a few of our mistakes along the way :)
We all know it - those mistakes help us learn and grow.
Keep it up!
