Hey all, I run a presentation sharing platform called Sizle, it's still quite new to the market having only been around for about a year, but I'm hoping that it might be useful to some people here.

Because of what's going on with this pandemic (some of my family work in high school education and I've seen the pressure and chaos that is really unfolding there), I want try try to do something to help and am giving lifetime Pro subscriptions Free for all K12, university and college educators and staff (and anyone else in the field).

If you know someone in the field, or you try it out yourself and want to take this up just enter either of these codes. I'm also happy for anyone on HN to use the codes too :)

EDUPRO100 (100% discount on monthly license)

EDUANNUAL100 (100% discount on annual license)

How Sizle works:

- Upload a PDF or PowerPoint presentation

- Send it to one or multiple recipients with optional password protection

- You get notified when the document is opened

- You can see how much time the viewer spent per slide

- You can optionally add a custom questionnaire to the end of your presentation

I know it's not much and I know that remote learning is won't be the norm moving forward, but I hope this helps at least someone during this crazy time regardless

Hey, thanks so much for the note. At the moment we’re using the Stripe API and there’s no way around this, but if you’re not able to use a credit card please sign up for a free account and email me at jeremy@sizle.io and I’ll manually upgrade your account to Pro without a credit card (that also goes for anyone else reading this post), hope that helps :)

Hi all, hope you can get some use from this list!

This list isn't for growing a community around your product, to do that you should spend time finding out where your users live online, and come up with some creative and human ways to interact with them for feedback.

This list is for boosting traffic to a page for a specific purpose (like a Product Hunt launch). Some might say that posting about your startup on startup directories is a waste of time because the resulting traffic is a vanity metric, but when a couple of upvotes can make a big difference on your big day you'll want as many as you can get.

Would love any feedback on the list, I'm sure there are some improvements that can be made!

Hi all, this is a project that I built with my co-founder. The idea is that Sizle is a presentation platform that lives in the browser with higher fps animations, millions of images, crm integrations, and a suite of analytics and engagement tools to measure presentation performance.

The primary users of Sizle are marketers, sales reps and founders. Any feedback is much appreciated :)

EDIT: The title links directly to the app, the landing page can be found at www.sizle.io

Hi all, Sizle is an experimental tool that I built with a friend of mine that is currently in a public beta. The idea is a web-based presentation platform with much richer animation than existing alternatives, and a suite of viewer analytics and performance metrics for senders to see the performance of their documents, would love to hear any feedback :)

EDIT: The link in the title goes to the dashboard, if you want to visit the landing page you can do so at https://sizle.io/

While I completely agree, for some teams a successful Product Hunt launch can many positive follow on effects, and as unfortunate as it is the PH system works on upvotes at its core. There's nothing better than engaging with the communities that your future users are a part of, but this list is not for product development and UX, purely for helping make a splash on launch day.

^ This. These links/directories are best used as a 'set and forget for a while' tool so help drive organic traffic over time, definitely not a silver bullet.

Here is a list that I made for my own Product Hunt launch in December for www.sizle.io after going through a lot of the old lists that exist online and finding the most up to date ones. There is probably a much better way to format this but hopefully it helps! If anyone has any suggestions to improve the list that would be great :)

Agree on all points, a template library is currently in the works, as are some responsiveness fixes :)

We’re really in alpha, and many of the features are experimental so we’re seeing what works and taking what our alpha users are saying seriously.

Hey Kristianc, Sizle currently supports PDF upload for this exact purpose and are working on PPT currently. We’re not trying to shift any sales workflows, the goal is to mainly give power users access to insights in a platform agnostic approach.

Yes, still very experimental at the moment but working on a way to get a demo presentation into the landing page nicely :)

Thanks, I responded to a similar post earlier but we are pushing a feature soon with a minimalistic consent notification dialog that gives a recipient opt-out ability.

Hey Gordon, I’m pushing a patch in early Jan to address this exact issue.

Recipients of Mailchimp campaigns have the same experience as recipients of Sizle presentations. They’re not told the sender will be notified when the document is opened however this type of tracking is fairly commonplace.

For comparison, you might allow cookies from a website you visit regularly, even though they’ve notified you do you really know the extent to which you’re being tracked by a cookie like GA? A large part of the online community assume at least some part of their activity is being stored somewhere, Sizle doesn’t even come close to the tracking that’s being applied to almost everyone that visits any news media site for example.

We made our own analytics tool from scratch that only gathers a few metrics to support sales teams. If that’s creepy to you I would recommend looking into some of the bigger data giants.

The local presentation mode will be a joint release with a Desktop app that can be used without internet access, it won’t include portable files at this stage but it’s on our roadmap.

Thanks for the feedback, we’re looking at how we can change up the page a bit to make it a more digestible.

Made my night! Thank you

There is a myriad of document tracking, analytics and crm software out there in enterprise that captures a scary amount of data, Sizle does't do that.

Like any email campaign manager, Sizle tells you when your document is opened, and tells you how much time the user spent looking at it.

Yep, I have just disabled export to PDF earlier as there was a rendering bug that will be fixed soon.

There is a patch coming in the new year with real time colab, export to PPT, local presentation modes and quite a few more features

Hey all, Sizle is an alternative to PowerPoint for sales teams that need to see when their document was opened by a client, what slides they saw, time spent, and it can also automatically schedule a follow up with the viewer. Currently testing it with a bunch of companies here in Australia, but if anyone here is in sales and marketing I'd love to have you try out the (experimental) beta :)

Sorry to anyone trying to visit the website, the traffic from HN has killed it :(

Here's the direct login link http://dashboard.sizle.io/

And here's the PH post if you want some more info until it's stable again https://www.producthunt.com/posts/sizle-3

Thanks!

Hey Alex, it doesn't mention in the title, but Sizle is a tool geared towards sales/marketing teams to help them make sales actions (follow ups with customers, leads, etc) based on when their presentation is opened, what slides were watched the most, etc.

Hi all!

Sizle www.sizle.io is a presentation platform for the browser. Users can create presentations, send them directly, track when they are opened along with detailed viewer analytics and CRM hooks.

The link above is an example of the editing view, the dashboard view (with analytics, sending & tracking) is still in the works :)

It's been a really interesting React build and I believe that it will be a one of a kind once it's released.

Would be awesome to have some of you on the early access program if you're down for it, cheers! https://sizle.io
