ShotGlass v0.2.3 is out!

ShotGlass makes filming your product demos easy. Like this

No editing skills needed. Just hit record and get cinematic 3D shots of your screen

Just shipped v0.2.3 with cropping (after recording) and way more reliable recording on high-res external monitors (8k)

I'm using my screen recorder to make demos of my file converter

Which means I'm recording myself converting files with 3D camera angles and smooth zooms

So now my boring file conversion app looks like a movie trailer

This is either genius marketing or I've lost my mind 🥃

I just hit all-time high traffic on HowToConvert after 16 months of grinding

The initial spike from my launch posts were amazing, but depressing as it is, viral growth only lasts a day or two.

After that I spent months struggling to grow on Google

BUT, clicks are finally going up and revenue is with it. I feel like this emoji guy

You know those super clean screenshots you see on your timeline with perfect backgrounds?

I added that to ShotGlass

Just pick your window and drop in a beautiful background

Makes your screenshots look 10x more professional instantly

One thing I’ve learned with launches: the video really matters.

But filming takes forever. Anything 3D means After Effects or a little studio in your room.

That’s why I made ShotGlass.

Does it work? Yeah, it launched itself:
