On a personal note, I wanted to thank the HN community. I’ve been hanging out here for over 15 years. I remember the day I stumbled on HN: I immediately felt at home here. I’ve learned so much from reading HN over the years. I think it’s fair to say that without this community, Brice wouldn’t be what it is today.
> I recently read “Good Inside” by Dr. Becky Kennedy, a parenting book that completely changed how I think about this. She talks about how the most important parenting skill isn’t being perfect — it’s repair.
Love this book! Just read it. Must read for parents, IMO.
Hi HN! We're Scott and Logan. We're building an AI Agent that schedules meetings for teams from within Slack. Finding a meeting time that works for everyone can be a big pain but Brice has access to everyone's calendar and can book the meeting on your behalf (using context from the Slack conversation).
Well done! Just tested this out and it's great but some feedback:
I couldn't successfully trim my recording. I could get into "trim mode" but couldn't figure out how to do it. That's a really important feature to me and the UX needs a lot of work there.
A feature that I always use with Screen Studio is changing the speed of clips. For example, if I'm typing in the recording, I like to speed it up super fast.
Also, I like the Cursor size/preferences (size, hide when mouse isn't moving, etc)
A feature that is missing from SS is: I can't insert title cards or my own clips. I kinda wish it took video editing to the next level and allowed me to insert other clips or title cards.
I'm still not happy with Screen Studio's pricing change.
Hey thank you so much for this feedback. What are your use cases for a tool like this?
Right now, there is a button with scissors on it that doesn't work. I apologize for not removing that, but I didn't think this post would even make the front page. (as an aside - I've tried several times posting this without success, but a change to the landing page much have done it)
I am definitely going to add the ability to add cards and title screens - and nice ones! I'd love for you to be a part of that conversation.
If you're willing and you have time, I'd love to connect for ongoing feedback. Like some of the other comments have surmised, I will eventually want to charge for it, and I could give you free service (I don't want to say lifetime, because I don't know what that implies, but it would effectively be lifetime or something very generous). I don't want to pretend that means to much right now - as you've stated, it needs a lot of work. But I am determined! And the features you mention are on my roadmap.
This offer extends to anyone willing to provide useful feedback over time, which would mean responding to one or two e-mails a month probably. I don't know what it looks like. I just want help. Thanks!
John, this is spectacular. I'd love to go back and forth with you on this...I've wanted something like this for a long time and I'm super impressed. Could you email me? stephen@bate-man.com.
