We built a way to run short, focused video events without Zoom fatigue — introducing ShortVibe

Hey everyone đź‘‹

After a couple of months building (and a lot of second-guessing), I’ve just launched ShortVibe.

The idea came from a simple frustration:
every time I wanted to share a few short videos with a group—whether for a demo, onboarding, or discussion—it turned into a messy Zoom call. Screen sharing, people out of sync, awkward pauses, low engagement.

So I built something different.

ShortVibe lets you run micro-events:
• Upload a set of short videos (instead of one long presentation)
• Everyone watches them in sync
• Discussion happens at specific moments on the timeline
• No recordings, no replay — it’s meant to feel like a live shared experience

It’s closer to a “private screening + chat” than a meeting.

Some use cases I’m exploring:
• Product demos broken into short clips
• Sales enablement / training
• Onboarding sessions
• Investor or async pitch walkthroughs

The goal is simple:
👉 replace long, draining calls with short, structured, high-signal sessions

I’ll be honest — traction so far is basically zero. Still figuring out positioning and who this is really for.

If you’ve ever tried to run sessions around video and felt friction, I’d really appreciate your feedback.

Happy to answer anything or even set up a quick walkthrough.

    Zoom fatigue is real, and sync-watching short clips is a much better way to demo a product. 'Zero traction' usually just means you haven't found the right pressure cooker yet.

    Since you're looking for your first users, you should enter ShortVibe into the Validation Arena (tokyolore.com).

    It’s a 30-day sprint where you compete to get the most real traction.
    The prize pool just opened at $0 right now, so you can be the first to lead the board.
    The winner takes the ultimate prize: a trip to Tokyo! 🏆
