The year is 2026 and companies are still running ffmpeg on their servers to transcode video.
The browser has WebCodecs. let the user's device do the work.
Your server has better things to do. like crashing during Black Friday.
π¨ Andrej Karpathy just explained the scariest thing happening in software right now..
someone poisoned a Python package that gets 97 million downloads a month.. and a simple pip install was enough to steal everything on your machine..
SSH keys.. AWS credentials.. crypto wallets.. database passwords.. git credentials.. shell history.. SSL private keys.. everything..
and here's the part that should terrify every developer alive..
the attack was only discovered because the attacker wrote sloppy code.. the malware used so much RAM that it crashed someone's computer.. if the attacker had been better at coding.. nobody would have noticed for weeks..
one developer.. using Cursor with an MCP plugin.. had litellm pulled in as a dependency they didn't even know about.. their machine crashed.. and that crash saved thousands of companies from getting their entire infrastructure stolen..
Karpathy's take is the real wake up call.. every time you install any package you're trusting every single dependency in its tree.. and any one of them could be poisoned..
vibe coding saved us this time.. the attacker vibe coded the attack and it was too sloppy to work quietly.. next time they won't make that mistake.
Unpopular opinion: if your SaaS shows "contact sales" instead of a price, you don't have a product.
you have a negotiation.
we show ours in the hero. $0.01/min. take it or leave it.
@ctranbtw@CloudflareDev@ProductHunt Appreciate it! We're heads down on the product right now β letting the work speak for itself.
If you want to try it: https://t.co/llwIohxoV8 β $1 free credit, no card needed π€
.@CloudflareDev β we built a video recording API entirely on your stack and just launched on @ProductHunt.
Workers, R2, D1, Pages. No origin servers. No egress fees. The result: $0.01/min video recording with edge delivery in 200+ cities.
Your infra made this possible.
We encode video in the browser and deliver from your edge. No transcoding servers. No CDN bills.
That architecture only works because of Cloudflare.
https://t.co/0BwYLcT2Mo
What your platform lets a team of 3 do:
β Workers handles every API call at the edge
β R2 stores video with zero egress β that's our pricing model
β D1 keeps metadata close to compute
β Pages serves our dashboard globally One stack. No servers. Production scale.
If you're building anything that needs video β hiring, edtech, telehealth, feedback β check it out.
Every upvote means a lot to a team this small π€

We're live on @ProductHunt π
VIDTREO β video recording API at $0.01/min. No subscriptions. No hidden fees.
Yes, another launch in 2026. No, it's not an AI wrapper.
It's real infrastructure. Built by a team of 3.
We'd love your support π

We're 3 people building video infrastructure that competes with teams 10x our size.
Our secret? We plan, iterate, and ship with @AnthropicAI Claude Code as our fourth team member.
Small team. Big ambitions.
We're live.
100 free minutes/month. No credit card.

Already in production with enterprise clients.
If you're paying more than $0.01/min for video recording, we should talk.
Hot take: Video recording APIs are overpriced.
Ziggeo charges $0.026/min.
Mux charges even more.
We charge $0.01/min.
62% cheaper. Same quality. Modern tech.
Here's how we did it π§΅
What you get at $0.01/min:
- SD to 4K recording
- AI transcription + summaries included
- Screen recording
- TypeScript SDK, full type safety
- Upload queue with offline persistence
- S3-compatible storage
- 100 free minutes/month
No monthly fees. No per-seat pricing.
