Demo video structure coach

Help indie developers script demo videos that clearly communicate product value

Problem
Many indie developers struggle with demo video length and whether to lead with a simple use case or deep features, resulting in videos that fail to engage. Someone on HN directly asked 'what makes a good product demo video?', showing this is a common, concrete creative pain point.
Solution
A lightweight web tool that guides users through questions about core use cases, target audience, and video length, then auto-generates three video structure templates (30-second hook, 2-minute feature, 5-minute deep dive) with storyboard scripts, screen recording tips, and copy prompts.
Users
Indie developers preparing for Product Hunt / HN launches, small team marketers, founders with no video experience.
MVP
Q&A-based requirement gathering; 3 structured script templates; storyboard and screen-recording checklist; export to Markdown/PDF; built-in breakdowns of 10 great demo videos.
Revenue
Free basic templates + paid export and advanced templates at $9/month; or one-time $49.
Why now
The AI product launch wave makes demo videos essential, yet most developers lack video storytelling experience; low barrier to tooling enables fast validation.
