Show HN: I Built a Tool to Experience Your Software Like a User (demo.fun)
2 points by johnwheeler on May 22, 2024 | hide | past | favorite
Hi Hacker News!

I’m excited to share a project I've been working on: a browser extension that lets you experience your software exactly as your users do.

Key Features:

- Records browser session, along with mouse events and resize events to give you an actual view into how users experience your software.

- Users can annotate videos with actionable feedback.

- Speed up, slow down, and add pan and zoom animations to demos (This is more for product people)

Why I Built It:

There's a huge gap between how developers see their software and how their users do. You'll notice that the first time you see someone using your web app at a resolution you didn't anticipate or clicking on things they thought were buttons.

This is a tool to collect feedback from coworkers, stakeholders, and power-users to record new features and user flows.

Try It Out:

You can check out the extension itself here:

I’d love to hear your feedback and thoughts on how this tool can be improved or further developed. Thanks for taking a look Hacker News!
