Ask HN: Rate my webapp - VideoHeatMaps
I needed to see which parts of my screencastes viewers were interested in, and which parts were boring. And didn't want to pay wistia $40/month
So I wrote http://videoheatmaps.com
Would love your feedback.

However: You don't mention why it's better than youtube insight. For me this is hugely important, I have a video on youtube which has half a million views, and insight tells me where the hot spots are, and gives me some other nice metrics about audience.
The important question for me, then, is why should I bother using your tool instead of relying on the free insight service already provided by youtube.
The hotspots are too general. I can't see if users are skipping parts, or re-watching parts. And if they are, how many times are they re-watching.
Yes, I think you're right - that is your USP. Do you track pauses? And what do you think the significance of a pause is? (just out of interest).
When I pause video for a short amount of time (<5 ish seconds), it's usually because I'm talking about the video. Longer pauses are probably due to be being distracted by something. Not sure if that's true of the general populace though.
Interesting service. You should expand to include slide analytics. Or slideshare should do.
