I capture my screen >10 times a day on average, I need to be able to quickly annotate and share it. This is where ScreenBud comes in.

September 12, 2021 Over 10000 extension installs!

After roughly 5 weeks of actively promoting ScreenBud, we have finally reached 10000 extension installs.

Many of our users are not power users. Still, number of daily active users (even excluding new users) also keeps climbing.

There's much to do: The most urgent now seems monetization and marketing to audiences who are likely to subscribe to ScreenBud Premium.

June 14, 2021 Commenting & user experience

New commenting functionality:

Demo.

This significantly expands the possibilities with ScreenBud. Commenting allows parties to collaborate and exchange ideas.

User experience improvements:

  • User guide that adapts based on whether you already have an extension or are signed in
  • Extension:
    • Redirect to guide after install
    • After invocation, show visual “press and drag” guide
    • After selecting area, shake the “save button” to bring attention to it
    • When saving the area
      • Show popup when not signed in, instead of opening a new tab
      • After signing in, save the screenshot right away
  • Sign in / sign up
    • After sign up, show banner to install extension if not installed yet
    • When signing in with Google / FB / etc. create account if it does not exist yet
    • Send email verification email right away
April 21, 2021 Open beta

ScreenBud is in open beta, welcoming new users.

I am actively working on next milestones:

  • Commenting
  • Subscriptions
April 10, 2021 Closed alpha

At the moment, the project is in a closed alpha stage. The extension is available on Chrome store to a group of alpha testers and the website is running.

I continue to iterate on the product in order to launch first public MVP. My current estimate is that it should be ready in ~8 weekends (my unit of time :)).
