For sure! In our cart view we don't ask for payment info, but definitely hear you on this. We'll begin discussing what changes are needed to facilitate this. We are trying to keep the barrier to entry low -- for both creating & viewing so this would certainly do that!

Hey, Dillon at Venu here!

I'll try to answer in order:

- WebRTC for video/voice and Websockets for chat (built on Phoenix LiveView)

- Yes, people can setup sessions to allow for up to 17 simultaneous presenters from all over

- Still haven't settled on price points. We are going to be using the beta to help decide. For now we're footing the bills ourselves so all tiers are currently free.

- 17 simultaneous presenters, no hard limits on number of attendees it is up for the organizer to decide how many tickets they want available!

- Organizers who are streaming are able to share their screens / application windows / webcam.

- We go back and forth, open to feedback. We use online meetups/experiences/events internally. Since we're all developers our content probably isn't the best at the moment!

Hey, I work on Venu. We're actually in the process of coming up with some new content/verbiage for the site because we actually agree with you. We came up with content for this very early on in development. This landing page served initially as a way for people to sign up for closed beta and eventually we don't plan to use it. But yea we will come up something better in the future for sure! Thanks!

Hey, I'm part of the team at Venu! Initially we only supported the single streamer. Recently, however, we introduced support to have multiple people share their screen and present at one time (as long as they're invited as organizers for the meetup). We're in the process of updating the verbiage on the site to better reflect some of the updates we've made in the past few months!

Eventually we have plans to introduce breakout sessions or another way for viewers to be able to communicate more privately.

Thank you for the feedback! I think I know what the issue is, we will take a look and get that fixed.

Thanks for taking the time out to give us feedback!

We will take a look at the loading speeds and maybe look at better ways to show page loads. The top progress bar was done very early on and after many design iterations might not be the greatest UX anymore.

As for your other points, if I’m on the job detail page and click one of the tags would you expect that to open a new tab? Or instead begin listing jobs underneath the current job detail?

Job description template is on the horizon. We are also adding salary range as a field for job postings. Thanks for the feedback!

Great point, we can add that as a field for employers to fill out when creating the listing.

Hey, co-creator here, thank you for your feedback! Pricing page can definitely be added. We should add the baseline pricing elsewhere throughout the site to make sure there is no confusion as well. Our plan is to actually make listings free for the first few months as we build up a base.
