Congratulations on launch #5. How heavy is the embed on page load? We keep our landing page light for speed, so that's my main question before dropping a demo widget into the hero.

@alieksia
Thank you! Great question.
The core embed script itself loads asynchronously, so it won’t block your main page layout or slow down your initial load time.
Once the main page is ready, the interactive steps and assets stream in seamlessly in the background.
Because it captures high-fidelity visuals, the asset payload can currently sit at a few megabytes, but since it's asynchronously loaded, your core site metrics stay safe.
That said, asset optimization and aggressive file-size reduction are actively on our immediate roadmap to make it even leaner!
@gapostolov Good to hear :) If it's async and the core metrics stay clean, the few MB matter much less to me. Thanks for the straight answer
Since it's open source, can you self host the whole thing including the AI voiceover part, or does that piece still need a hosted API key from you guys?

@talhakhalidmtk
You can absolutely self-host the entire core platform!
For the AI voiceover piece specifically, you need ElevenLabs API key and for the AI enchancing OpenAI API key

Hi Arda! Thank you so much, we'd love for you to give it a spin.
Voiceover: We use ElevenLabs for our voiceovers, ensuring incredibly high-fidelity, premium, and completely natural-sounding audio.
Embedding: Yes, absolutely! You can embed demos directly onto your website with zero redirects. You can also embed them natively on Twitter/X and Medium, or drop them into emails as an animated GIF.
the server-side render-by-replaying-in-a-headless-browser approach for exports is clever. with personalized text per viewer, does each shared link get its own server-rendered mp4/gif baked with that person's fields, or is the export always the generic version and personalization only shows live in the embed?

@sabber_ahamed
Thank you for the great question.
No, we don't have per-link server-rendered exports just yet, the MP4/GIF export currently uses the default template values.
Personalization is handled dynamically, so it shines live in the interactive embed.
That said, since the foundation is already built on top of our headless browser rendering architecture, generating custom video/GIF variations per shared link is highly trivial for us to implement.
We can absolutely add this as an improvement very soon!
Open-source + self-hostable is a smart wedge against Storylane/Navattic/Arcade — a lot of teams get nervous about product-demo data sitting on a third party's infra. I'm actually mid-way through recording my own product demo this week for a Product Hunt launch, doing it the old-fashioned way (screen recording + manual editing), so this caught my eye immediately. Curious how you're handling the "clickable" interactivity layer under the hood — is it recording real DOM interactions and replaying them, or more of a scripted overlay? Would genuinely consider something like this for the next one if it saves the manual editing grind.
The answer you gave Ridhwik is more interesting than it looks. Advanced engagement analytics and lead capture sit behind a paid plan on cloud, but they are already in the repo for self hosting. That makes your free tier your most generous tier, and the people most able to run docker compose are exactly the founders and developers you say you built this for.
That is not necessarily wrong. Plenty of open core companies win by making the OSS version genuinely complete and charging for never having to think about infrastructure. But it seems worth saying out loud on the pricing page instead of leaving it to surface in a comment thread, because a developer comparing you to Storylane right now has no way to tell that the self hosted path hands them the tracking layer everyone else gates.
The staleness answer was the other thing that stood out. Refreshing after a UI change with a recapture rather than a rebuild is the actual reason these tools survive past month three.
Scarlett.
Excited to hunt LiveDemo today.
@LiveDemo helps teams turn product workflows into interactive demos that prospects and users can explore on their own.
Instead of relying on static screenshots, long videos, or repeated sales calls, LiveDemo lets you capture a workflow, add annotations, AI voiceovers, and personalization, then share it across your website, product, or documentation.
What stands out:
Capture any workflow in minutes
Add AI voiceovers and personalized text
Share demos through links, embeds, GIFs, or videos
Track engagement and viewer drop-offs
Capture leads directly from your demos
@byalexai Congrats on the launch. For teams that already use tooltips, walkthroughs, or video tours, what’s the recommended workflow for migrating existing demos into LiveDemo without losing SEO, analytics continuity, or user tracking? Any tips for keeping personalization effective at scale?
