Building a screen recording app for your calls

Upd:
– Added download in popular format MP4
– Updated the player
– Updated visuals, bringing the entire UI to dark theme
– Fixed bugs, now you can confidently record long videos of an hour or more (well, hope and are testing)

Month 1 of building my screen recording app

❌ Users don't understand how the product works
❌ Can't stop recordings
❌ Don't know how to download videos
❌ UX complete failure

Rewrote 80% of the code...

Lesson: sometimes better to spend more time on MVP than spend months fixing later

Shipped my second product Video Recorder

Motivation? It was my own personal need. At my 9-5 job I constantly needed to record screens (calls, user research). Existing solutions were clunky or unstable

βœ…Β Built the MVP in a month

One founder. Full bootstrap. From idea to launch in 1 month. Let’s go!

My strategy: launch many products vs developing one for years

Not every product will find its audienceβ€”some ideas won’t be as valuable. But a few will find their market and users

One product fails? No problem. There’s always the next launch

Focus on micro-products:
βœ…Β fast development
βœ…Β fast launch
βœ…Β fast profit

My strategy: Build something simple, make a stack of cash and only then think about doing something big πŸ’€

How to launch a startup solo?

Easy! Do development, design, marketing, testing, and support all by yourself! And try not to burn out (if possible) 🫠

I don't chase markets with zero demand or no growth, straight dead end

Way smarter to jump into super competitive spots πŸš€

Conclusion:
Don’t wait for perfection, mistakes are inevitable, especially in your first product. Launch fast, test quickly, and trust real user feedback.

Most importantly, believe in yourself and keep going 🧑

This was my first product. First launch. First users. First feedback. First criticism. First dollar 🧑

First year (aug 2025):
πŸ“30,000+ users
πŸ“~10,000 MAU
πŸ“Has monetization

Now I continue actively monitoring it and improving based on user feedback when needed

First month:
2,000 users, but the product was suuuper raw. I kept developing it for the next 6 months, based entirely on user feedback

The product didn't work. The main feature (reading text aloud) was broken 🀯

I couldn’t understand why people kept installing it. New users came every day. Every day I lost them due to bugs.

It was scary, churn rate was maximum, tons of negative feedback poured in.

Had to fix everything quickly

A year ago I accidentally chose an idea for my first launch: text to speech for websites.

Did some research and saw demand. There are people who really need this.

Quickly launched the first version in a month and published it to the store πŸŽ‰

Jan 2024: I realized I wanted to build something of my own. I craved freedom from the 9–5.

Jan 2025: 9–5 exit.
No guarantees. No stability. No team.

Well… I did have some kind of plan β€” and I stuck to it πŸ˜„
