We just shipped Virality Score, know if your video will go viral before you publish.

Hey everyone! Excited to share what we've been working on.
We just added Virality Score to OpenCut AI, a neuroscience-backed engagement analyzer that grades your video A-F across 7 signals before you hit publish.
How it works
Drop a video into the editor, click "Check Virality Score," and get:
- Hook Strength does your first 1.5s grab attention? (33% of TikTok viewers scroll past in 3 seconds)
- Curiosity Gap is there unresolved tension keeping viewers watching?
- Audio Energy are your levels and pacing right for the platform?
- Beat Sync do visual cuts land on audio beats?
- Face Presence the #1 short-form retention driver
- Emotional Arc does your clip build to a payoff or flatline?
- Viral Potential LLM-powered composite prediction
Each signal scores 0-100, rolls into a letter grade, and comes with actionable suggestions ranked by expected impact.
Why we built this
Most creators publish and pray. The difference between 10 views and 100K views is rarely the content it's the presentation. We used neuroscience research (dopamine prediction loops, orienting response, information-as-reward) to identify what actually holds attention, then built scoring algorithms around real platform data:
- 65% of 3-second viewers watch 10+ seconds
- Text overlays increase view time by 28%
- Videos with 65%+ 3-second retention get 4-7x more impressions

Also in this update: YouTube to Reels
Paste a YouTube URL and OpenCutAI will auto-detect the best 15-90s clips, score each one, reframe to 9:16 with face tracking, add captions, and export ready-to-upload reels. The full pipeline runs locally.
Would love to hear from creators, what signals would you add to the scoring? What's the first thing you'd test this on?

Whenever I fill a form, a part of me dies. So I decided to fix them.

Hello PH . I am Ishika, building Slashforms - because form builders are built for the person making the form, not the person filling it. And that s just backwards. So we re building the whole thing properly. Partial submissions, abandonment recovery, payments, scheduling and so much more! No more duct tape. Here to learn, fail, overshare, and probably ask you to fill out a form. What s the most annoying thing about forms you ve had to use?

New Scenarios?

Right now we have scenarios covering things like giving hard feedback, managing up, and pushing back on scope creep, and more. But I'm building out the next set and I'd rather build what people actually need than guess.

So: what's the conversation you keep putting off?

What's the one you replayed in your head after it went sideways?
