I built a tool that turns a single link into video testimonials.
Here's the full demo ๐
โ
Proofly flips it.
โ You send one branded link
โ They record right in the browser
โ You approve and embed a Wall of Love
No app. No login. No editing.

@SimonHoiberg I agree @SimonHoiberg , they can be faked, AI Generated, and what not but Video Testimonials do wonders. Have you tried Proofly? https://t.co/dkvEW60WHj
And the worst part โ you can't take a break. Because every day without a signup is a day closer to shutting it all down.
I don't have a lesson here. No "here's what I learned" moment.
Just a founder who's running on empty and still showing up tomorrow.
Nobody talks about the brain drain of marketing your own product.
Building? I can do that for 12 hours straight.
Marketing? 2 hours and I'm completely empty.
Writing cold DMs. Rewriting them. Second guessing every word.
Posting on Threads. Refreshing for replies. Getting none
Watching PostHog replays of people scrolling your page and leaving without clicking anything.
Rewriting your headline. Again. And again.
Getting your Ask HN post auto-flagged.
The product works. You know it works. But you can't get a single person to just try it.
โ Viral Threads posts (roast my landing page, built by AI)
โ Cold DMs to founders whose products needed social proof
โ Rewrote the entire hero using Marc Lou's framework โ Integrated PostHog โ watched 700 people scroll and click nothing
โ Fixed silent demo videos

I'm not posting this for sympathy. I'm posting because if anyone has been here and found the thing that actually moved the needle โ I'm all ears.
And if you're a founder with happy customers but no social proof on your page โ this is what I built: https://t.co/2wqSkZn2AJ

โ Wrote an Ask HN post โ got auto-flagged immediately
The product is real. Free plan. No card. Customers record video testimonials in their browser โ no app, no login.
I was laid off 6 weeks ago. Family depends on me. 20 days of runway left.
