This is awesome! Is this all done through YouTube's API? If so, are you legally allowed to do that from their API rules? Any other video sources being used besides YouTube? Also, have you guys thought of building out a platform or API for people to plug into so they can include Vibby videos in their apps? Content curation is a big space right now. Congrats guys!

@mikeyahdoot Thanks for the support! Yes it is all done through YouTube's API. We do not violate any terms of use from YouTube. We see Vibby as being a layer above other video hosting websites that lets viewers engage with that content in a more personalized way. At the moment, we are compatible with YouTube. By mid-next week we will be releasing Vimeo compatibility as well. In the coming months we'll be adding other major video sources such as Twitch, FB video and others. Awesome idea with the open API! Definitely something we have planned in our product roadmap. Cant say yet exactly when we'll be able to release that but I couldn't agree more that this would be a great opportunity to push vibs out on numerous platforms. I'll circle back with you when we have some more concrete plans around the API. Thank you for the great feedback!

@mikeyahdoot to confirm what @cohen_ari has said: we are definitely going towards an open API which would allow anyone to use Vibby as a layer to build upon. We are currently working with several partners who will be using Vibby technology very closely in their products. Right now, we are defining the API based on their needs. If you or anyone you know would be interested in discussing the specifics of the API, we'd love to jump on a call and see how we can make videos even more flexible :)

@cohen_ari @ivosluganovic : Hi Ari and Ivo : Thanks for this supercool tool with a supercool name @vibby . Though I haven't used it till now but your pitching excites me to do so once I reach home ( I am on journey:) ) Just few questions: You wrote " try for free " on the website. Does it mean that it will be charged after some trial days or months. I don't think this so... Dealing with the video highlighting and yet no video demo or instruction. Sounds uncool...please do so. What about licensing issues of real video which we change into new smaller but emphatic video? How do you protect the interest of real makers ? Do you put any watermark on it or cite a link to the real video at last ? Or you will leave this to the wisdom of users to use it the way they want to use . It's a great tool but where is the business ? Any current pricing or ad plans or will you think about it later? Thank you. Nitesh Manav PS: don't mind spelling mistakes. As I said I am on journey and using mobile to type :)

@niteshmanav @cohen_ari @ivosluganovic @vibby Looks like there is a video in the preview above. Also, on the landing page of Vibby. I'm not sure when it was added, but you can definitely check it out now.

@niteshmanav @ivosluganovic @vibby Thanks for great questions and happy to hear you like the name! Valid point about adding a video. We just added a brief walkthrough that can be found in the upper right corner of PH page as well as our landing page: https://youtu.be/9DkgbhfLFKg There will always be a free version of Vibby and we’ll be rolling out additional premium features in the coming months. However to be clear, all existing features on Vibby will remain free forever. We will remain a platform that enables everyone to share the best moments from any video. We will be exploring an ad model in the future as well, however at this time we are not serving any ads. If you take a look at the bottom of our video player, there is always a button to “Watch full video”. A major reason for us leaving this button here is that we want people to watch highlights and in essence get teased to watch the full video. We’ve put a lot of thought into how to protect the original creators interest and we’ll be rolling out certain features soon that will address that in a more concrete way, such as enabling content owners to opt out of allowing people to use their content on Vibby. Put simply, enabling another person to repurpose my content without creating a separate version of it, vastly increases its value, distribution, relevance and shelf-life. The willingness of others to share video content is an excellent measure of its value, and providing tools to empower that sharing increases the value of the original content. As we progress along revenue models we will definitely include a way for original content owners to earn their share. I hope I address your questions. Feel free to reach out with any other feedback!

#PHReview: Really intuitive explainer video on the website! I'm not much of a YouTuber, but I can see how Vibby will be used. Would be really nice feature to export the videos to GIF format. Not sure if GIF format is currently in the product or on the roadmap, but GIFs are everywhere and might help Vibby grow.

@sethlouey Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Vibby allows you to repurpose existing videos and focus your viewers attention on the moments that really matter. This is especially important for people like me who have a very short attention span and not much experience with YouTube 😊 Its funny that you bring up GIF's, I have always said that Vibby is a tool that sits between video and GIF's. In the same way that Vibby allows you to highlight certain moments and display them as video, GIF does the same, just presents the moments you selected in a different, and more limiting form. Anyways, its definitely something we are considering building directly into our product. In the mean time, here is a little side hack that you can use to create GIF's from vibs. 😉https://www.producthunt.com/tech...

I love the idea, I love the implementation. To be honest I expected YouTube itself to make such a simple tool which would let non professionals to highlight some parts of the video, and publish it, but you've kicked ass with this feature. At the same time I think there is some room for improvement on UX side: 1. I am sure it would be great to let the newcomer to experience the product without making him to login. The product is so superb, once someone uses it, he will definitely register, meanwhile preventing him to use the product without logging in may bring you to losing some potential customers. A demo version would a be a great solution. 2. The "Vibby" link in the top left corner leading to https://www.vibby.com/explore sometimes opens just a plane white screen with only top navigation in there. Jumping to dashboard and then clicking Vibby link again solves the problem. 3. Once I am done highlighting and have moved to STEP 3 there is no way back to STEP 2 except the browser back button. Bad :( Keep up the great work! Good luck!

@aramiggs Thanks, we really appreciate it :) 1. We thought so to. We actually went to great lengths to implement the creation process and commenting which does not require user signup. Then we turned the option off and realized our conversion rates went up 3.5 times! It seems that average user is not that bothered by a (simple!) account creation. But to be fair, there is probably another design decision that helps: 2 step signup process. The button only tells "Try it", so you get curious. You then choose a video that you want to try Vibby on, so you invest some time and put some effort into it. And then we ask you to register. If you now drop out, your time is wasted. So you continue. Annoying, I know, but it works :)
