Show HN: NeetoRecord – an affordable Loom alternative for remote work
neeto.com
Today, we are launching neetoRecord https://www.neeto.com/neetorecord.
neeto is a 100% remote company. We are building many products, which require a lot of communication. Very early on, we had decided that jumping on a "Zoom call" for every small discussion was not a scalable solution. So, we chose to use asynchronous communication.
However, with async communication, we found that written text didn't adequately express the message emotionally. A voice can capture the emotion behind a change a person wants much more strongly than written texts. Secondly, writing takes a long time.
We started using Loom for async communication and loved it so much that we wanted to get it for the whole company. However, at $15/user/month, getting 100+ Loom seats would cost us substantially.
Like any engineer, we wondered how hard it could be to build just the core of Loom. So, we started building it in July 2023, and after nine months of development, we are ready to present neetoRecord to the world.
We have been using neetoRecord internally for the last six months. Here is a real-world example https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pjlzSOf7VPvzFzLz4ynM5Kk-pIl... where we discussed the website revamp. As you can see, six videos were posted on this issue. It means we had six fewer meetings regarding that issue. Adding up all the hours saved amounts to quite a lot in any given month.
We believe that neetoRecord will be an indispensable tool for an effective remote team. At neeto it already is.
Our roadmap is currently empty. We will work on improving performance and bug fixes. We will listen to user feedback and feature requests to decide what is next. The most important thing for us is to keep the price competitive to have a wider audience.
We have written three blogs on how we built neetoRecord. https://www.bigbinary.com/blog/build-web-based-screen-record...
Please give neetoRecord a try. We would love to hear your feedback.
