I made $325 in my first week after launching Debut - my $25 Screen Studio alternative. What's next?

p.s. LemonSqueezy makes license-based product launches so easy

@upnidesigns This is just amazing, thank you! You really nailed the interactive aspect that I couldn’t work out.

I’m going to update the landing page now!

@isaacdsign I actually own a competitor, https://t.co/wnNmA5XBMj

Might be an interesting comparison! I’d love for it to feel more interactive :)

@ChrisWillx I made https://t.co/wnNmA5XBMj because I also found Loom unusable

I've tested numerous macOS screen recorders, but this one truly surprised me.

Meet Debut → a clean, native macOS screen recorder that auto-zooms on clicks, highlights your cursor, displays keystrokes, and lets you blur sensitive information — all without editing hassles.

Debut is perfect for:
• Product demos
• Tutorials
• Dev walkthroughs
• Creator content

🚀 One-time license. No subscriptions.
🎁 I have FREE license keys for a few people in the replies.

Here's how easy Debut makes your product launch.
The app records your screen and applies smart zooms, smooth cursor movements, and a great background.
I hate subscriptions and you probably do too, so it's $25 for a lifetime.

[Ben Harris @ben_hrris]

Check it out. It's 25$ lifetime.

Here's the screen recorder for your next product launch
Today I shipped:

Green-screen background removal for your webcam
Undo/redo functionality for all video edits.
Improved video editing UI.

[Ben Harris @ben_hrris]

Introducing Debut, the screen recorder for your next product launch.

And I hate subscriptions (especially for a screen-recorder), so it's 25$ one-time.

Debut automatically applies beautiful zoom animations and smooth cursor movements.

I'm realising I've never truly shared the architecture of my deployment platform.

Outlap provides a single binary to install on your servers. It's lightweight: written in Go, and uses 8-25MB at peak workloads.

There's absolutely no SSH or inbound connections required - the Outlap agent maintains a single outbound websocket connection to the control plane (outlap . dev), where you can remotely trigger deployments, receiving monitoring alerts, and more.

In the age of 'vibe-coded' software, application and infrastructure security is ever more important. And I think that's why Outlap will win.

Agent-based architecture is here to stay, and I want to make it the norm for any new servers.

[Ben Harris @ben_hrris]

I shipped a new onboarding experience to Outlap today

My biggest challenge is piece-by-piece removing the complexity of setting up a new VPS and deploying your app. But I think I've now got it.

here's the demo, raw VPS to deployed Nuxt app in 45 seconds 👇

Today I shipped a file browser for your Outap-deployed application.

Here's an example, browsing a deployed Nuxt V3 app. Outlap will always show you exactly how we deploy your app.

What's next?
