Avion
Story mapping for agile software development teams
This last week has been a roller coaster ride of todo lists and Trello tasks — prepping images, proof reading, contacting people and much more. Last night was a restless night's sleep!
However, as a result, today we got launched on Product Hunt!
This does feel like a really big milestone for us. Ultimately, we are just two guys building some software (and a business) and enjoying the ride.
I would love any feedback or questions (on anything). I'm here all day, so if you have any comments, fire away :)
After lots of researching on different types of promo videos, I spoke to a video editor friend and we tried to figure out how to get the result we wanted.
We ended up realising that Premiere Pro wasn’t the right tool for the job, so I set myself the goal of learning After Effects. I had a ball of a time, and managed to get a half decent result! I’m pretty bored of the track now though 😂
Video took around a week to edit, but there were a few weeks researching before and trialing different techniques.

We are yet to launch, but Robleh has kindly said that he would hunt us on our behalf next week. Absolutely chuffed. Now we just need to get the polished video and website out the door this week!
We've been working very hard on our promo video and decided to learn After Effects ourselves and have a crack at making the video as opposed to paying someone.

Looks like an awesome product dude. And also the landing page is beautiful!
Ah thanks Alan. Just realised that I was checking out your product site for TrackMyLift just the other day! Good job man 👍
Aw thank you dude appreciate it. Did you come across it on here just?
And no problem - Looks amazing. No doubt it's gonna do well. 💪🏻
You know what — I genuinely can't remember where I saw it! Could have been here on IH...
Good luck with it 👌
Avion looks awesome! I usually use Trello to manage our product backlog, but it definitely lacks a "view" in context of the product. We'll get it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Hell yeah! We do love Trello as well though... The tools work nicely together :)
@jpsear love the product. I'm going to suggest it to my previous two agencies with whom I worked with.
Planning to add Github integration anytime? Also the intro video is a tad fast. Overall great work man.
Ah wow thanks man!
Yep GitHub is already underway.
A few people have mentioned the video speed now. Deffo something to learn for our next video.
Please shout if any of your previous colleagues want a demo/chat with me. More than happy to talk them through it.
Seriously impressive video! You have done an amazing job with that. All teh best on the launch bro 👍
Wish you guys the best of luck — will share Avion at my workplace and maybe use it for my next project!
