Looks like a valuable tool for creators who want to get more out of their short-form content than just ephemeral stories. Love that the content can be indexed 🙌
Franz Schrepf
@lachlankirkwood Thanks Lachlan! Completely agree, we definitely want to make sure all the great stories people create are preserved and more people can benefit from them 🤙

Seems really straightforward and clear to understand. Think it’s a great idea...
Cameron James
@anne_butcher Thanks Anne! Delightfully simple it what we aim to be 🙌

How is it different from Instagram stories?
Cameron James
@srameshrr Hi Siddharth! Thanks for a great question 👌 There are a lot of differences but here are the main ones in terms of technical features…. For starters, Tick stories are made to be searchable in-app like a ‘how to’ library, whereas Insta stories aren’t searchable and much harder to stumble across. Second, our videos are discoverable in Google search, so if someone searches “How to poach an egg” a story made on our platform could show up as an answer. Lastly our videos can be opened in-app or in any web browser 🔥so you can share a Tick story with people who don’t have the app (yet) 😉

Love it! What's the #1 use case?
Cameron James
@stapho_thienpont Hi Stapho! We’re super proud of our diverse tool, so we believe there are loads of use cases we think can work…. Creators sharing their craft because they love teaching. Creatives showing off their work. Businesses displaying how their products work. Businesses showing how they deliver certain services. Charities sharing awareness how-to’s Then viewers simply searching or being interested in the topics shared To be honest, we’re at this stage where the user can use our platform for what they want, we just want to build the stage from which creators of how-to story content can shine from 🌟

Having tutorials, and, even other story-based content (seen a few travel slides on there and life hacks on there) just makes sense. Looks great on screen. Perfect 5/7

Pros:

Intuitive interface and great formatting of content, I love it

Cons:

The Thumbs up feature is okay, but there’s no commenting on videos which is a shame.

Cameron James
Thanks for the review! Really appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻 We're deffo looking into commenting and direct messages as a means to communicate with other Tick creators!

I was impressed by the “manifesto” I recently read and look forward to seeing how the platform unfolds and grows!
Franz Schrepf
@sydney_meeks_fowler thanks Sydney! Now that the creator tool is public we have some big plans for the upcoming months, the best way to stay up to date with the next steps is to sign up for our newsletter (only twice a month and guaranteed no spam) --> www.tick.co

Great concept. Will be sharing a few skills of my own on this. Love how it’s a step by step so I don’t have to rewind videos or like Instagram where I have to watch from the beginning again.
Cameron James
@kim_richardson Thanks Kim 😁 Precisely! We look forward to seeing your skills 🔥

Really nifty little app! Wish I could put gifs and different colour text but I remember snapchat taking a while to bring this in so I’m sure it’s coming

Pros:

No ads and annoying pop ups, full of value content as opposed to the fluff you find on other platforms

Cons:

White text looks great, looks like they’ve done some shadowing on it to make it stand out, but I wish you could do other colours

Cameron James
Hey Arthur, thanks for the feedback! Various text colours, stickers and gifs are definitely something we're looking into 🔥
Keane
Easy to use! Very clever idea.
Cameron James
@keanebeh Thanks!

The way Tick allows you to format videos is really well suited to the how-to video especially on mobile (which is where a variety of browsing occurs these days). Love the concept and I can’t wait to see more and more creators publish some insightful and useful content on this platform!

Pros:

Excellent mission, potentially game-changing 🔥

Cons:

Lacks a wide variety of content, but will grow in time I’m sure

Cameron James
Thanks for the review Felipe! Yeah that's the thing, but we're just at the beginning of our journey 🚀Soon there will be Ticks covering a huge number of how-to's 🙌
