Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Lanternaut because putting your own video on your own site is still weirdly hard. You either hand it to a platform that wraps its brand and rules around your content, or you use a developer API that bills every gigabyte people watch, so a video doing well turns into an invoice you dread. Lanternaut sits in between: upload a video or image, copy one line of embed code, paste it anywhere HTML works. That's the whole integration. What you get: • Adaptive streaming from 240p for slow connections up to 4K for big screens • Originals stay private: short-lived signed links, and you choose which domains can play your media • Bandwidth included in flat plans: 750 GB/mo on the $5 Starter plan, up to 20 TB on Scale • Over your delivery allowance? The first 20% extra is free, then $3/TB from a prepaid wallet. No surprise invoices • Encoding is $0.04/min past your included minutes, billed per second • Captions, responsive image sizes, background-video loops, a full API, webhooks and an OpenAPI spec • Public docs written so ChatGPT, Claude or another AI assistant can set it up for you There's a free sandbox (30-second clips, watermarked, deleted after 24h), so you can try the API and player before paying anything. It's in beta, so I'd really value blunt feedback: what would stop you moving your videos here?
